Plug in vehicles are also in Toyota’s near future, with a scheduled launch date in early 2012. The Prius Plug-in hybrid made its North American debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show early this month. It boasts a 13 mile electric-only range and gas mileage over 50 miles per gallon. Toyota’s plug-ins are expected to have a starting price around $27,000.
Toyota is continuing development of a fuel-cell hybrid, expected to hit showroom floors in 2015, and next-generation batteries to replace larger lithium-ion batteries for better performance.
