The Prius Prime system has features of both electric and hybrid vehicles. Electricity 
received by charging from an external power source can be used to supplement 
hybrid energy, and the vehicle can also be driven as an electric vehicle using only 
the electric motor. The EV driving range can be extended by using regenerative 
braking to store electricity in the traction battery.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE SYSTEM

Charging equipment

The charge cable included with the vehicle is designed to be connected only to 
an AC 120V power source.

NOTE:Toyota recommends installing a heavier-duty 15-amp wall receptacle 
with GFCI (Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter).

Refer to Owner’s Manual for more details.
