Yes. Had a 1st gen. It was a snooze fest to drive, but dammit that car just ran. Drove it from 84k to 212k miles with only a water pump and an AC compressor clutch needed in terms of repairs, and that was at 186k miles and 199k miles respectively. Over the 9 years and 128k miles with me, it averaged 42mpg. It may have been boring, but it also gave me zero heartache, which is something I definitely can't say for the more fun cars I've had in my life (of which there have been quite a few)... Honestly, going back sounds great, and this new one has really got me thinking.

Excellent excellent observation! The Toyota Prius is both effective at exactly that, as well as self determined transportation as a whole; electric vehicles are unsustainable as a whole by far. Plug in hybrid vehicles fulfil just about every single purpose electric vehicles do. People argue that they just do two things poorly rather than a single method very well; but, as long as literally obscene amounts of acceleration aren't necessary, plug in hybrid technology does both better as far as longevity and reliability is concerned. Both the batteries and the engine last a whole lot better, I do admit however that plug in activity may cause plug in hybrid batteries to be more in line with ordinary electric vehicle batteries. Replacing hybrid batteries is a whole lot cheaper and most likely not that beyond basic repair to do yourself.

@evos469 You know that hybrids like the Prius automatically shut off the engine when you come to a stop, right? The only time it starts up at a stop is if the engine needs warming up in the morning or if the battery needs charging by the engine. A majority of the time, it shuts down as you slow down. If you drive under a certain speed, you can actually just be in all electric mode. I have owned many Priuses and currently drive my V daily, and they last forever with minimal issues. No worries with range anxiety and finding a charge up station, while being able to still be efficient is a big win for me right now.

(Hydrogen combustion hybrid) will probably be the next step. Toyota still has to manufacture cars for many car markets around the world. Western eco markets only account for a small part of the world's population this is a sensible strategy from Toyota, majority of countries do not have the infrastructure for ev take over, developing countries are more concerned about reducing poverty first and boosting their own economies so that people one day can afford those expensive ev's that Greenpeace wants us to buy.

as a comment i saw on cnbc’s video, “the world to them means the us or europe, but toyota thinks about the 150 other countries.” basically there is not enough infrastructure to support all these evs

I think it’s the right thing to do. The Balkans for example don’t yet have anything near usable electric charging network. Getting a hybrid or plug-in hybrids is the way to get at least partially better on lowering fuel consumption

I always feel that hybrids are already partial EVs, and instead of preserving ICE, actually encourages it's users to take the next step, leading to EVs. It's recently uncovered that a good portion of Tesla owners are formerly Honda and Toyota owners. California is the state with the most Prius sold and is now the most Tesla.

Well, hybrids are cheaper than EVs. But if you have the money for an EV, I'd go for an EV instead of a drony 4 cyl hybrid, it's silent and instant. But the batteries at this point are too expensive.

Hybrids are better as you have the option for one power source or the other, also you don't have to worry about a huge battery blowing up or spending 20k on a new one. Toyota knows HYDROGEN is the future and will use it eventually.

@@ghoulbuster1 well if you're worried about fires, hybrids are the worst option to go for while EVs are the best. There's a report by the NHTSA citing vehicle fires/100,000 cars sold. Hybrids topped the list with 3000 fires/100,000 vehicles while ICE has 1500 fires/100,000 cars and EVs are the least likely to catch fire with only 25 fires/100,000 vehicles

The Toyota prius is the crown victoria of Toyota, but better, and you can't change my mind. Because unlike the crown vic, it stayed in production for way longer, and had and racing career along with its police car and taxi variants. That's why I love the Toyota prius, its got a lot going for it as well as being a very memeable car.

20 years ago 0-60 in 7 seconds was impressive. 6 seconds for a daily was VERY nice. Todays eco cars cracking 7 isn’t bad. Electric is faster- yes but I will stand firm with the ICE I’m just not wanting to plug my car in at home and hope it charges over night. Nah. It’s gonna be PRICEY to make every vehicle in America go “electric”.

I can confirm prius drivers speed like maniacs because i’ve seen it, I own one and a friend did too, they have such low horsepower that slowing down for anything makes it take forever to get back up to speed so if you want to get anywhere you have to maintain that speed and not slow down. I usually drive 15-20 over and the last thing I want to do is slow down, if they had more horsepower this problem would be solved.

It has become very clear that most in the car community don’t understand why Toyota is so motivated to keep ICE engines is because of the Japan energy crisis. Japan barely produces any of its electricity, and thus it’s in the best interest to continue to produce vehicles that won’t stress the already failing grid that they have.

I had a second generation Prius. I loved that car. I drove it hard and fast. I mean it has no great top speed, but acceleration was decent and it stuck to the road. After 10 years the battery wasn’t great, but it still got great mileage. The only thing that bugged me is it gave no warning if you ran out of gas. It would just shut down. You’d think it would at least let you limp off the freeway just on electric. It was a fugly car, though.

Toyota is right by going the direction they are. As far as climate goes,if all American drove an electric car, it would very little to change the climate. Cars are an easier target to attack. Most pollution comes from industry and agriculture, they are harder to fight,but we still need them. There is no climate crisis, it is all about control and wealth distribution.
