2017 Toyota Prius Prime vs 2017 Chevrolet Volt — Head-To-Head Comparison So, how do the two plug-in hybrid (PHEV) offerings stack up against each other? That’s a hard comparison, as they seem to be targeting somewhat different customers — the 2017 Toyota Prius Prime is more energy efficient and a bit cheaper, but with less all-electric range (the 2017 Chevy Volt has an EPA-rated all-electric range more than double that of the Prius Prime). So, how to choose? Arguably, the Prius Prime’s 25-mile all-electric range can meet most people’s daily travel needs, but if the buyer in question has a longer commute and doesn’t want to use any gas at all for it, then the Volt could well be a better choice (53-mile range). Here in South Africa a plug-in hybrid probably makes a lot of sense as your city commutes could be covered with the battery, and longer distances between cities are still possible with the petrol engine. http://ift.tt/2gdFfhB
