The world's first charging-based, sports app "PLUG-IN Championship" by Toyota

PLUG-IN Championship

"PLUG-IN Championship" uses recharging of the smartphone as the main game controller, to bring to life the "Fun to charge" concept of the new hybrid vehicle with rechargeable battery Prius PHV.

“PLUG-IN Championship” takes the plug-in action where smartphone users connects their device to the recharger, and turns it into a sport.


“Players” will compete with each other by accuracy of the timing of the “plug-in” action and win scores for each play.

When a smartphone is “plugged in”, the app reacts with playing an exhilarating video to add more sparks to the game.

“PLUG-IN Championship” will transform the recharging action into something more proactive and fun!
