    Toyota is also targeting at least 2500 sales of the Prius Prime in Japan, and with similar numbers in the US:

    Toyota Launches New Prius PHV in Japan - Targets 2,500 Sales Monthly, 10 Million Hybrid Sales Achieved

    I hope this speeds up plug-in adoption rates, and gets people used to driving electric.

    It has been a very interesting two decade development, I've been along since late 2009, and as a electromechanic enthusiast...great jumping in concepts!!
    Now, we/you are still missing the BEVs, please Toyota!
