    Many Autos that have that feature allow you to turn it off. Don't know if that's the case here.

    The Prime is a great looking car! But I wish it could go 100 miles on a charge.

    I also don't have any way to plug-in at home. I would have to go sit at Walmart, or the shopping mall and use their free re-charge stations. I think that would get old, real fast. I will have to be satisfied with my "old fashioned" regular Prius, that "only" gets 62 mpg around town. :LOL: That's fine for a retired guy.

    You can plug it into a "regular" 110V wall outlet. That's what I do at home.

    I think black is an option for the Prime.

    What part of California? The Bay Area has so many charging stations, which has resulted in a great deal of free charging for me. I find the chargepoint app to be more accurate and helpful than Toyota's Entune.

    I obtain a free charge at the grocery store, in-town street parking, library, shopping mall, coffee shops.

    How does it affect your electricity bill? Much of an increase?

    I'm in the south/eastern part of LA County. We are not as progressive as you folks up there. I still have to buy a thing called "gas." :LOL:

    The shifter is still Blue. On the North American Prime, there is white plastic under the Infotainment screen. My Prime looks like a European spec with black plastic, instead of white under the Infotainment.

    I was kidding about the invisibility. It looks great without the porcelain treatment.
