That means high-volume production, enough to rival other popular vehicles. In other words, at least 100,000 annually. (typo above, sorry, should be a “with” not “without”)

Faster than that, you get quite a bit of electric contribution along with engine activity. So the MPG is still much higher than without that standard setup. > the current Prius parallel hybrid system from

42 MPH is the top current electric-only speed.

62 MPH is possible with adjustments to the existing system.

Faster than that, you get quite a bit of electric contribution along with engine activity. So the MPG is still much higher than without that standard setup.
