Plug In Your Prius

Pictured above is the new plug-in, fully electric Toyota Prius.

The prius hybrids have been all the rage recently, serving both as a status symbol and an important stepping stone to fully green cars.

This latest model, pictured with it’s charging station, will be fully non-reliant on traditional gasoline, and gets all it’s fuel from the power grid. No emissions.

Nice.

While talking about fully electric cars though it’s important to note that they do not actually eliminate emissions, they simply transfer them to the power plant. While this does little to cut actual emissions, it allows us to focus on improving power plant technology rather than improving the vast amounts of different engines (traditional, diesel, ethanol, etc).

It’s still exciting to see the fully electric vehicles coming however, it seems big business is finally taking them seriously!
