Toyota Prius Plug-In-Hybrid - ion battery

Toyota's Prius may be a little angry recently, but it's fighting back!
With the fun twist of electric vehicles, Toyota has just launched a trial of the Prius plugHybrid power (PHV ).
The new car can travel 20 kilometers as long as it uses electricity, but unlike other electric cars, you still have a gasoline engine to keep you going when the charge runs out.
So now the main drawback of electric vehicles is that there is no scope limit.
Cars that produce 59g/km of carbon dioxide will be available in 2012.
Toyota and French electric power have been working on Car Charging Technology since 2007.
Last month, Toyota showed the latest developments in its green hybrid technology, the new Prius plugIn.
As the name implies, the new car is the standard Prius-so it has a gasoline engine and an electric motor, but there is a new addition --
Rechargeable battery packs that can be connected to external power supplies.
Unlike electric vehicles, the PHVs battery pack can be plugged directly into the single-phase power supply at home without the need for special plugs.
The full charge is 90 minutes, about 40 cents.
Therefore, the average fuel consumption dropped to 2.
6 liters per 100 kilometers, 30% higher than standard Prius.
This is also an impressive number, as most modern diesel engines can match if they do not currently meet the standard Prius.
Standard Prius uses a small group of rechargeable batteries that are placed under the back seat and cannot be seen.
The engine and the brake system will fill up the battery that will power the motor in turn.
This motor provides extra power for gasoline.
8 liter engine on demand.
Before the gasoline engine has to start up, the standard Prius can run for a very limited amount of time in power (EV mode.
Toyota's PHV uses a larger and more modern lithium-ion battery pack.
This provides a very large range of EV modes to use-up to 20 kilometres at speeds of up to 100 km/h.
In order to get valuable real data, Toyota will provide 100 PHVs in the coming year
To provide the people of Strasburg with hybrid cars used inside and outside the French city.
Ireland will receive three PHVs and will be on trial this summer.
As part of 200 global trials, a total of 600 PHVs were provided in Europe.
Toyota leads the global hybrid market with 2.
So far, 3 million hybrid vehicles have been sold, equivalent to 80% of the hybrid market.
Toyota also claimed that carbon dioxide emissions were reduced by 12 million tons due to the direct results of its hybrid program.
It is clear that the Japanese giant will continue to dominate and develop hybrid technologies in the foreseeable future.
A growing number of Toyota/Lexus hybrid models are coming soon, followed by the introduction of the Auris HSD hybrid.
70% of Europeans are expected to live in urban areas by 2015, so the current Toyota Prius plug
Hybrid seems to be a very sensible solution to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in cities and towns.
