Does Toyota even have a reasonably long range PHEV?
The Chevy Volt with it's 53mi electric range was, what I had hoped, would be the harbinger of long electric range cars (say, 100mi electric + 500mi gas).
Instead we have EVs that barely do 250mi range and PHEVs with minuscule electric ranges.
The 2023 Prius PHEV is 40 miles, which is pretty close to the Chevy Volt's 53. So, not really but better than the really tiny numbers of a few years ago.
For me 40 miles is about the optimal amount of electric range -- I either go <20 miles a day or >400 miles a day. It's an interesting optimization regime, though, and very customer-specifc. 40 still seems low for the average US customer, I suspect. I expect there will be more e-range options in future model years.
