Aside from sleek, aerodynamic, yet more aggressive styling than the original Prius, the 2022 Prius Prime is a plug-in hybrid. Capable of driving up to 25 miles in full EV mode, yet still a fully operational hybrid, the Prius Prime is more flexible than any other hybrid or full gasoline car. In a lot of ways, it’s more flexible than a full EV, because it can charge at 26,000 stations nationwide, as well as fuel up at any gas station.

What does that flexibility mean to 2022 Toyota Prius Prime owners? Less time and money spent at the pump, and huge savings on gas – as well as at the dealership. Federal tax credits of up to $4500 are available for this amazing car. Let’s dig in deeper and look at some stats and features in the new 2022 Prius Prime.
