ELECTRIC VEHICLE SYSTEM

Electric Vehicle System
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.
