    Realize that Charge Mode can get you 80% in around an hour. Is it because of increase from on board 3.3 KW charger to 7.2 KW? Or because it takes that long to normally get to 80% on Level 2. Or because charge mode is DC to DC vs converting from AC to DC? Thx.

    I read somewhere the CHG mode is DC to DC akin to the DC Fast charging which does not exist in US Prius PRIME but does for the Japanese Prius PHV.
