this first Toyota [Prius plug-in hybrid](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/09/toyota-builds-plugin-electric-hybrid-car/)
at an all-electric drive. More notably at higher speeds than a hybrid.  Then the
all-electric operation will go for longer distances. Of course, (like an all-electric
car) versus the conventional Prius hybrid.

In addition, production of the [first](https://greenlivingguy.com/2013/01/toyota-brings-strong-momentum-to-new-year/)
generation Prius Plug-in ended in June 2015.  That’s according to Toyota sources.
