Toyota's plug - in Prius, which won't be available in the retail market for another two years, represents a cautious
approach to test the performance, durability, manufacturing consistency and safety of new - generation Li - ion
batteries before making the next leap into
full EVs.

The
battery charging rate gets slower and slower as it
approaches full charge, so Apple decided to show 100 % sooner so that people didn't notice or get annoyed by the long and slow final creep up to the true 100 % charge level.
