    A number of car companies are moving towards becoming “mobility” companies.

    I suspect they’re planning things down the line that include fewer car ownership and more subscription-based services like car share or people owning cars for short term.

    I agree...that would be a prime setup...especially here in MN! Seems like it could be a packaging issue with the larger battery and all though ( the current AWD Prius jams the battery under the rear seats ).

    Fitting AWD and a plug-in sized battery would take some serious engineering.
