2012 TOYOTA PRIUS PLUG IN ONLY 24K ORIGINAL MILES NAVIGATION BACK-UP CAMERA LOADED w/ POWER OPTIONS LIKE NEW CONDITION ONE OWNER CARFAX/ AUTOCHECK and STATE CERTIFIED with BUYBACK GUARANTEE RUNS LIKE NEW... The 2012 Toyota Prius Plug-in is no ordinary Prius. Before slapping on the Plug-in badge Toyota bumped up the size of the Prius' battery pack for increased range under pure electric power added the capability to recharge that bigger battery by plugging the hybrid into any 120-volt outlet and reprogrammed the EV driving mode to take advantage of the new electric-only range. The battery pack is larger than that of the standard Prius but it's also more advanced. The new battery is a 4.4kWh lithium ion array while the standard model has a 1.3kWh nickel metal hydride battery pack. You can fully charge that battery pack with a 3-hour charge from any 120-volt outlet. If you can find a public standard 240-volt SAE J1772 charging station or have one installed in your home that charge time drops to 1.5 hours. All the electricity in a normal standard hybrid battery comes from the gas engine either directly or through regeneration while braking. What the Plug-in hybrid adds is a full charge of cheap potentially clean electricity before you even leave the house and because of its greater capacity the larger battery can capture more energy when coasting or braking downhill. (On a long stretch a regular hybrid's battery gets topped off sooner and can't accommodate any more). On one morning commute of 17 miles the engine turned on occasionally either under heavy acceleration or at high speeds. The rest of the time it ate away at the initial electric charge and I arrived at my office with 0.1 mile of electric range left. This is the perfect outcome. Yes a little gas was burned but depleting the full charge right before arrival means the battery pack was the perfect size for this drive. Great features even more economical than the standard Prius.
