A 2025 Toyota Prius Prime takes about 4 hours to charge from empty to full on a 240-volt Level 2 charger, according to its EPA test. On a standard 120-volt outlet it takes about 8 hours. A full charge puts about 11.6 kWh through the plug for 40 miles of electric range.
Toyota Prius Prime charging time by charger
Figures for the 2025 Prius PHEV. The battery is small enough that even a 120 V outlet fills it in about 8 hours, overnight.
| Charger | Power | 20% to 80% | 0% to 100% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1, 120 V outlet (12 A) | 1.4 kW | 4 hr 50 min | 8 hr 3 min |
| Level 2, 240 V, 16 A | 3.8 kW | 1 hr 49 min* | 3 hr 1 min* |
| Level 2, 240 V, 24 A | 5.8 kW | 1 hr 13 min* | 2 hr 1 min* |
| Level 2, 240 V, 32 A | 7.7 kW | 54 min* | 1 hr 31 min* |
| Level 2, 240 V, 40 A | 9.6 kW | 44 min* | 1 hr 13 min* |
| Level 2, 240 V, 48 A | 11.5 kW | 36 min* | 1 hr* |
* Only if the car's onboard charger accepts that much power. On its EPA test it charged at about 2.9 kW; if that is its limit, a faster wall charger won't shorten the 4-hour full charge.
