Hover over the points for more information. All plug-in vehicle models share the same power/weight ratio. Further details are published in https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trd.2019.05.013. Any similarity of a hypothetical vehicle model to a real vehicle, available in the past, present, or future, is purely coincidental. Please Note: Incentive estimates reflect the incentives structure of 2021 and have not yet been updated.

Desktop version of this tool was primarily created by Karim Hamza, a researcher of Toyota Motor North America R&D, with web-app development primarily done by Nicholas Makharinets. Both desktop and web-app are shared in the spirit of researcher-to-researcher information sharing, peer-review, and collaboration. We make no guarantees about the tool, except that we very much want to fix any issues or bugs you may find. Current version, changeLog, and a quick HowTo are available at the 'Support and FAQ' link above. Please direct comments and questions to info@carghg.org
