The only drawbacks are the poor behind, steering feel is missing, and the interior plastic, given the high price.

2011 will be as revolutionary as many institutions and companies are planning to install charging points for electric vehicles for the magazine of the vehicle fleet of hybrid Toyota Prius Plug is designed to help you make a good choice. A few electric vehicles launched this year and next year will have a fair election.

The Toyota Prius is already widespread in the roads, especially in urban areas, where the hybrids have become popular. Toyota has sold over two million hybrid vehicles and is the only manufacturer that has the most experience in the development and implementation of hybrid technology.

Prius PHV use lithium-ion batteries and will travel 12.5 miles on battery power alone. This distance is enough to cover short trips and get a full charge when the battery is empty should take about an hour and a half of the normal 240V outlet.

The vehicle is also equipped with a regenerative technique, which uses the energy while slowing down, and charging the battery, in this case optimally. When the battery is low, the Prius does the majority of the 1.8-liter gasoline engine power requirements, and use the battery from time to time.

If you think this technology comes at a high price, you must remember that the vehicle is eligible for a £ 5,000 grant, provided that the Government has extended the cash allowance on their system.

Prius has been tested by us in a few days to discover its features, and also see if the fear of a short range EV battery was justified. The vehicle was driven about 150 miles or more, and most of this distance is covered by a highway. Usually hybrid and electric cars are not so well under constant high speeds.

RSV rapidly drain the battery. In a hybrid where the engine runs at high speed continuously, you scrap the fuel economy benefit, because the engine has to bear its own weight, and battery. But we noticed that the Prius was able to drive an EV mode Epsom on a little 'beyond the M25.

The trip computer was reading 75mpg at the end of the trip. This was not far from the reading we got 74.3mpg combined cycle standard Prius. But you must keep in mind that the Prius standard of 70 mph is not got 70mpg economy.

During the year, seven days, the vehicle was able to perform EV mode, path, about 22 km, assuming half of the trip was no tailpipe emissions. This would be ideal, but the real RSV-space distance was only about eight miles after the journey begins. This may be due to the power weakened by the ventilation system and heating, because the cold and also from 50 to 70 mph speeds.

The Prius seems to be ideal, where the vehicle is used for shorter trips and the possibility of loading occurs during the day. If you travel more than a backup of the hybrid powertrain Economic serve this purpose.

In the year 2012 there will be very little choice in some part of the EV and gasoline powered vehicles as the Opel Ampera and Chevrolet Volt. Peugeot is also out with some hybrid diesel. Even with these models, Toyota will be able to maintain a stronger position because of his experience with hybrid technology and a vehicle that has already proven itself.

Our review verdict of the vehicle fleet is an electric vehicle with a range of 12 miles on battery power is attractive to the need to travel a bit and the system of grants for plug-in Toyota hybrid vehicle Prius plug extends very popular, either as a fleet car or family car.
