Good Info about 3 stages.

Toyota Prius can only hit about 25 mph before the gasoline engine cuts in.

The new Prius prototypes can operate on electric power for a range of about 7 miles and can re-charge in three to four hours using a 110-vlot outlet. Under the hood is the current Prius’s 1.5-liter inline four. The electric motor generates 50kW, which combined with the more powerful pack, allows the Prius prototype to reach 62 mph on electric-only power.

62MPH is crazy and only use gasoline if over 63 MPH.
