    I spotted a unique looking car model that I didn't recognize. Like the Prime, it had a little round door for the gas/charging on the passenger side of the vehicle.

    I was just curious, are there other EVs that charge on the side?

    maybe the O/P should rephrase the question, like how many PHEV's have their plug in the rear passenger side of the vehicle?

    Yeh, what Priuscatprimeguy said. I'm showing my naïveté; I thought most EVs charged from the front of the car.

    I also thought most cars these days have their gas tank access on the driver's side. After seeing that car, I've been noting how many are still on the passenger side.

    If you look at the gas pump symbol on the dash, there's an arrow pointing to the side where the gas cap is. This is on all cars, not just the Prius...

    That still leaves a lot of cars. Can you give us some details. 2 doors or 4? Sports car, hatchback, SUV? Any of the prior suggestions look like it?
