    How are warranty repairs handled when you have a PiP in state where they are not normally sold?
    Is there factory training required to service a PiP ?

    And for the record, Volt's can be found at similar prices to PiPs, counting the tax incentives.
    And remember, MPG is a meaningless number for these cars. It is Cost/Mile that matters.
    And everyone has different driving patterns (%Gas/EV). I'm at 66%EV.

    you can get warranty in all 50 states, and 99.9% of the pip is the same as lift back. i don't know if there's required training, but, between the symptoms and codes, toyota can walk them through repairs if necessary.

    ...could be...we get the official 2014 numbers for CA around 14-Feb-2015. But it was running 50% of PHEV were sold in CA for the first 3 quarters. Many of us suspect PiP is >50% but we do not have the data from Toyota....alls we know is total PHEV
