The Toyota Prius may be far more recognised as a mild hybrid, but the lesser-known Toyota Prius PHEV has an 8.8kWh battery under the boot floor. Although no longer available new, you can still find this version on the second-hand market and with around 25 miles real-world range it is certainly a viable option for many.
Charging time for the Toyota Prius plug-in hybrid is just two hours from empty to full.
