    Check the manual. The total from both can't exceed 1500W. You don't get 3000 W.

    "●With these power outlets, use
    devices which operate on 120
    VAC and have a combined maximum
    power consumption of 1500
    W or less. If a device is connected
    and the power consumption is
    exceeded, a protection circuit may
    be activated and the power supply
    function may be stopped."

    Do you know if the SE trim has a single 120V outlet or the same two?

    Obviously both outlets are coming out one inverter as @Tom_06 pointed out.

    That's great! (I wonder why the 1500W inverter is not mentioned in the Prime's Specs on Toyota's website?)

    The Prime Owners Manual here:
    https://assets.sia.toyota.com/publications/en/om-s/OM47E73U/pdf/OM47E73U.pdf?_gl=1*izu7dp*_tmna_ga*MTg2OTEyNzY1MC4xNjgxMDk4MTgx*_tmna_ga_EP43E5EFVZ*MTY4MTE4MjUzMC4yLjEuMTY4MTE4Mjk5Ni4xNS4wLjA.
    starting on page 468 there are a lot of instructions about using the 1500W power outlets, such as "Do not refuel or wash the vehicle while using the power outlets." :LOL:

    There are two outlets: 1) behind the center console in the rear seat area, and 2) in the luggage compartment.

    While using the power outlets, the key fob will not operate, nor the alarm system. You can lock the car with the physical key.

    I can't find the gen 5 on Epa.gov, can you clarify if those numbers are for the non-Prime FWD or AWD or Prime?
    Danny report a combined 52 mpg for the Prime and i guess is for the SE 17".
    Can we deduce that the Prime XSE 19" is at 48 mpg?

    A complete resume for the FWD, AWD, Prime would be great.

    The 2023 Prius Prime still isn't up on Fueleconomy.gov, but is at the US Toyota site. The numbers Gokhan posted were just for the old and new Primes. No AWD option for it at this time.
