The Prius was 'invented' about 1992 as this is the first mention of the vehicle to become the Prius. The first rendition of the car used ultracapacitors to store electricity but this was not good enough, so they began developing batteries, settling on NIMH. The car was first sold in Japan in 1997 and they decided to bring it to the USA in 1998, but the engine and transmission interfered with the steering wheel change to the left side. It took two years to fix it to mount the steering on either side. It was first sold in the USA in 2000. This information can be verified various places on Prius history on the internet. NIMH battery technology was then purchased by Standard Oil, who along with Toyota, prevented cars from using the battery to power cars over 40% by NImH batteries. The last EV1 vehicles were powered 100% by this battery, along with the Rav4 and many other types of vehicles which had to be destroyed or be sued. The patent runs out in 2015 so Lithium ION batteries are being developed. It is against the patent rights to have any fully powered car using NIMH batteries. Thankfully, the Tesla has made it using LiIon batteries.

Depends on how you drive and how many miles you drive. I estimate mine to be about $1,000 a year this is with gas at $2.65 a gallon. It is about half of what I spent on the other car. I average about 53.5 MPG.

There dipstick with the yellow on the top that one can see when you open the front hood of the car, placed car on level ground, turn the car off, after three minutes or so, removed the dipstick to read the how much oil you have or need. To fill the car with oil read the owner manual and follow their directions.

It is located behind the glove box, or lower dashboard storage area. You have to disconnect the air piston on the right side and lower the box. Then remove the filter box(just slides out). Do not throw out the frame, you will need it.

The 2013 Toyota Prius-Plug-IN has 51.2 in. of rear hip room.

The 2004 Toyota Prius has a 8 ft. 10.3 in. (106.3 in.) wheel base.

The Toyota Prius shares a similar body to the Honda Insight. The standard Prius features a front end that looks like the average Toyota sedan. The back end, which has a distinctive square shape, is what gives the Prius its distinct look. The Prius line is expanding, however, and will also include vehicles that look like conventional hatch backs.

Probably because the Prius was the first hybrid produced that was more than a 2 passenger vehicle. Also it was a few years before anyone else made a vehicle to compete with it, so therefore there are many more of them on the road and the Prius is the only hybrid that will have 3-4 year old vehicles around. And 3-4 years is the age when a lot of people trade vehicles in on new ones.

The battery is actually 12 cells and they cost about $250 each to replace. However none have actually died from just being driven. If a rear impact collision damages the batteries and the housing unit it would cost about $5,000 to replace everything.
