Toyota could emerge as a serious contender with electric vehicles if it can manage to scale up its own battery design.

A supply issue is pinching the rollout of the RAV4 Prime plug-in hybrid, a much-anticipated version of Toyota's best-selling U.S. model.

The RAV4 Prime offers more electric range than the Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid and Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-In Hybrid.

In 2013-2015 Toyota Prius and 2014-2017 Prius V models, an issue with voltage buildup could cause either a fail-safe mode or failure of the hybrid's inverter.

The 2021 RAV4 Prime offers 42 miles of all-electric driving, followed by 38-mpg hybrid operation, plus punchy performance.

A manufacturing issue has led Toyota to recall about 9,500 RAV4 and RAV4 Hybrid models.

The RAV4 Prime has a price tag—and considering state incentives and the EV tax credit it could be cheaper than the Hybrid.

Toyota's first hybrid-exclusive model other than the Prius will be the Venza—with an expected 40 mpg.

With an estimated EPA rating of up to 33 mpg, the Sienna minivan now rivals the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid—but there's no plug-in version on offer yet.

The Hyundai Sonata Hybrid and Toyota Camry Hybrid both achieve more than 50 mpg, but they're quite different in many ways.

If you can't (or don't want to) plug in, the 2020 Highlander Hybrid is the most fuel-efficient way to carry up to eight people.

The chief engineer of the rear-wheel-drive Toyota Mirai says there's almost nothing carried over to this new hydrogen fuel-cell model.

Over the years, Toyota's caution to focus on hybrids and fuel cells over electric cars has been replaced by recalcitrance.

Toyota has reconceived the Mirai to be a showcase for hydrogen fuel-cell technology once again, just in an entirely different package.

A big battery gives the Toyota RAV4 Prime up to 39 miles of estimated electric range, with acceleration second only to sports cars in Toyota's lineup.

Toyota has introduced a new Toyota Yaris Hybrid for other markets in the world; but that doesn't mean anything for the return of the Prius C.

Some of the advanced-tech ideas in the Toyota LQ concept look ready for prime time, even if the concept doesn't.

The warranty coverage on Toyota hybrids has evolved to boost confidence in the lifetime of the batteries and the longevity of the technology.

Range and mpg haven't yet been mentioned for a plug-in version of the Toyota RAV4 that will arrive in 2020 for the 2021 model year.

With more active-safety features and potential to tap into the Apple and Amazon ecosystems, the 2020 Prius keeps on with the mainstream
