Up to 2022 the Prius' ICE barely had 70 kW of engine power, and (IIRC, take with a grain of salt) neither turbochargers nor compressors. The less capacity the engine has, the more abuse it can tolerate, and it likely was ridiculously overspecced in tolerances and thicknesses. In contrast, your 100 kW+ average vehicle? Probably built for maximum profit margins. | ||
