Prius Prime Embargo

Source: AD #1953 – VW’s EV Plans Could be Threatened, Jeep Unveils the All-New Compass, Fighting Hackers is Big Business – Autoline Daily

Toyota unwrapped a handful of vehicles last week including a number of refreshed models and one significant hybrid. But it still has that information under embargo. Even so, here’s a peek at the Prius Prime, a plug-in version of the Prius. It kind of reminds us of the Chevy Volt.

Sounds like they've got some in North America which makes sense:

Light shows at a popular vacation spot.
"Press Day" at a popular, retired, Marine air base.
Selected 'loans' to journalists.

Guess we'll have to go on @Danny watch to see when he is 'out'. <grins>

ps. The bold text looks like an insult to me.

Plug-In Registrations By State

Jeff Cobb has been putting this interesting graphic in several of his recent articles. As many of you know, it is hard to come by state-by-state data about sales of hybrids and plug-ins. So here we have a little insight courtesy the US Department of Energy.

My state VA, with among the least green car friendly policies, still shows pretty decent Plug_in sales. We still have some free HOV policies that long-time ("grandfathered") green car owners can qualify for, so that is one
explanation.

Look at Georgia with the (defunct) $5000 credit for Leafs made in Tennessee.

What's the explanation for your state? Tell us below.
