Max and Jordan compare one of the best plug in hybrids, the new Toyota Prius Prime against the EV value king: Tesla Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive LFP. Do you need to full electric when plug-ins are this good? The Prius has gotten appealing but when specced out it's also approaching the Tesla in price.

Model Tested: XSE Premium on loan from Toyota—the base Prius Prime at $34k is significantly more affordable but comes with much less equipment.
