Frankfurt Preview: More on Toyota's new lithium-ion Plug-in Prius
 TOYOTA SWITCHES ON TO AN ELECTRIC FUTURE WITH NEW PRIUS PLUG-IN HYBRID
Sam Abuelsamid - AUTOBLOG - 9/10/2009
No solar roof opton pictured on this one? --Ed.
The battery capacity has not been announced yet, but it can be fully charged from a 230 V supply in just over 1.5 hours. Toyota plans to build 500 of these lithium battery Priuses starting late this year for leasing to fleets in Japan, the United States and Europe. Retail customers won't get their turn until about 2012.
- New Prius Plug-in Hybrid Concept reinforces Toyota's progress towards the ultimate eco-car
- Lithium-ion battery technology allows for compact packaging and quick recharging
- Rechargeable from domestic power supply or public charging point in around an hour-and-a-half
- Extended EV (electric) driving mode of up to 12.5 miles at speeds up to 62mph
- Over longer distances, Prius Plug-in switches to conventional petrol-electric full hybrid operation
- CO2 emissions cut to less than 60g/km
- Toyota to launch global lease programme to evaluate Prius Plug-in in early 2010

Perhaps it is forced out of EV mode by the computer?
Like most hybrids they like to stay in range of SOC.

Re: Frankfurt Preview: More on Toyota's new lithium-ion Plug-in Prius
I agree, 20 kms (12.5 miles) is not very far. Even thou if I lived closer to work like I used to I could get there with only 3 km on the ICE.
