It's a gas car, and can't plug in. It's a strong parallel hybrid, which is better than the GM mild hybrid or the weak parallel, but it's gas engine is connected to the wheels, making it prior to the electric motor.
A serial hybrid has the engine only to generate electric. While the Prius can do so, the engine starts even when you don't want it to do so.

hey old fart. Do you really expect full electric to even exist today after all the shit it has been through in the past? You should count your blessings that the Prius demonstrates hybrid i.e. electric assisted petrol engine. One day with better battery technology i.e. corporations not owning vital patents, we will see full electric. Ridicule the holders of the battery patents not companies that try to squeeze electric cars into the market as frankenstein hybrids.
Toota (oops, meant "yoyota" bears a lot of the guilt for killing NiMH cars. They didn't have to suck the chevron slime, they could have stood up to Big Oil. But they were wimps. Yoyota sucks.
Do you honestly expect a car company to go against oil companies? They work hand in hand! I can't blame toyota for not promoting battery only vehicles. They aren't wimps, they just work with oil companies. Anyone can figure that out. NiMH battery technology is a bit questionable hence why it isn't used for full scale production of cars. NiMH batteries wear significantly if discharge rates are too high and charge capacity is either too low or high.
There is a kit to add this button. The problem is the Prius computer turns on the engine at 34 mph; there are two motors, but the controller on the second is too small, so it's difficult to convert to a serial hybrid.

30 bucks a month isnt that bad at all.
Achieving 100mpg in a PHEV Prius with this system is a step in the right direction and acceptable to me.
