When Prime debuted, Toyota touted its ability to charge on a regular home outlet (110v) in 5.5 hours. Indeed, that’s a huge selling point.
You drive electric without worrying about a home charger or a subscription to a charging station network. We just plugged in our car at the end of a day’s travels and started over in the morning. Looking at charge times of Ford Fusion Energi (7 hours to 21 miles) or Hyundai Sonata PHEV (9 hours to 27 miles), Prime has a clear advantage.
