What kind of transmission does the 2012 Toyota Prius-Plug-IN have?

The 2012 Toyota Prius Plug-in uses an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (ECVT).

This is the same transmission found in the standard Prius, but it's optimized for the Plug-in's electric motor and larger battery.

It provides a smooth and efficient driving experience, seamlessly transitioning between the electric motor and the gasoline engine.
