Auto Express have published their "test driven" review of the Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid. 'This is a Prius like no other - a plug-in electric Hybrid which Toyota claims will do an astonishing 108.6mpg and emit just 59g/km of C02. The biggest difference between this car and the regular third-generation Prius is in it's electric power source. The Plug-in version uses Lithium-ion batteries for the first time in a Toyota. They can carry more energy and recharge faster (a full charge now takes just 90 minutes) than the smaller nickel-metal hydride units fitted to the current Auris and Prius hybrids.'
