Toyota Prius News and Reviews

Toyota has put almost 25 million hybrid and plug-in hybrids on the road globally. With a recent $5-billion investment in its North Carolina battery factory, the company is preparing to ramp up its battery manufacturing to support many new electric car models.

Toyota has garnered some criticism for its stance on full-electric vehicles, preferring to offer customers a range of technologies including hybrid and gasoline options. But it has four new battery technologies in development that promise huge leaps in performance and range.

If you leased a hybrid, plug-in hybrid, or all-electric car back in 2019 or 2020, you might be able to make some significant money when you turn it in at the end of the lease. Find out how.

Toyota is one of the pioneers of electrification, having first introduced hybrid vehicles over 20 years ago. It continues to believe in offering a mix of carbon-reducing technologies such as hybrid, plug-in, and hydrogen in addition to battery-electric. Here's why.

Plug-in hybrids combine the zero-emissions benefits of electric cars with the convenience and long-distance ability of gasoline vehicles. But a recent study shows many owners aren't plugging in their PHEVs - meaning that they're actually using more fuel and polluting more than a gasoline car.
