摘要

A PLUG-IN PRIUS from the Toyota factory won't be coming to showrooms until 201 2, but you can get one right now by taking your Prius to Plug-In Conversions, which recently upgraded the conversion kits it installs. Why convert? The all-new 2010 Toyota Prius can go up to a half-mile in EV mode at speeds less than 25 mph. In overall driving, it gets 51 mpg. The Plug-In Conversions car can go as far as 25 miles under ideal conditions, can hit a top speed of 70 mph and can get more than 100 mpg in routine commuting.
