    They also have the Prius Prime and Rav4 Prime models which have larger battery packs and charge ports compared to their standard hybrid variants. These models don’t support DC fast charging and still operate like standard hybrids so having the larger charge network isn’t as important.

    I’m not sure if the existing Tesla level 2 “chargers” would work in this case but assuming they do it would offer more options.

      I have a prius prime! Works perfect for my use case. Everyday driving is full battery with maybe a bit of gas. Big long trips require no extra planning or stops.

      Not for everyone, and i figure will last until EVs are nice and developed with better infrastructure up where i live.
