Consumer demand in the United States is driving Toyota’s move to produce a plug-in hybrid car that can run off grid power alone for a short stint.

Toyota won’t let the vehicle come to market without adequate quality control and research into the batteries that will power the car, however.

Last week the maker delivered two plug-in Prii for use by California universities at Irvine and Berkeley as part of a three-year study that will aid in development of the new car.

FINALLY. This was the worst kept secret in auto history. Its like J-Lo's pregnancy.

I wonder why they delayed it so long. Hopefully all the bugs have been worked out of it by now.

I'm pretty sure there are still bugs to work out. Hence the three year study, and the fact that it will be a 2010-2011 model.

"hybrid hot-rodders" were ALREADY putting together plug-in priuses.

was only a matter of time before toyota itself followed suit.
