VIDEO Toyota's plug-in Prius test drive in Japan

A few comments, I don't know if it was just me, but a few of those screens said "Possible Driving Distance" 7.8km, and 10.0 km? Please tell me that their plug in has a larger range than that.

Second, was it just me, or did they all run a red light? at the beginning of that video

 

The guy says Toyota Rep's are still touting hydrogen as a non CO2 causing 'fuel' ... but fails to account for the waste of CO2 causing energy in creating the hydrogen (hype). That was disturbing in light of what's now common knowledge.

Is there any concern about where the electric plug in is located?(right by the gas tank fill up orifice)

Hi Burritos,

The electric plug (right side of car) is on the opposite side of the car from the gas filler tube (left side of car). So, now its not a problem, because its not right by the gas tank fill up orifice.
