A Prius Plug-in set London’s Bedford Square aglow on December 17 as it powered an array of twinkling lights as part of a Camden Christmas celebration.
Decked out in a seasonal snowflake livery, the Prius Plug-in was able to create the seasonal display using power from its hybrid system’s lithium-ion battery pack, with no emissions to cloud the occasion.
The Toyota was making its debut as part of the borough’s Cleaner Air for London Businesses project.
This gives local businesses the chance to try out the latest electric vehicles, demonstrate the benefits of low and zero-emissions transport and dispel some of the common myths and preconceptions associated with the technology. The Toyota– and other electric vehicles – is being offered for two-week test drives, free of charge. Details of the scheme can be found here.

I hope they dispelled the common myth that it is zero emmissions? Or did they charge it at a wind farm (if they can find one working in too much / too little wind)? PC nonsense. Merry Christmas everyone.
