The Prius You Can Plug In
This is the first time I have read a great article about plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Scott Hollis of Mother Earth News wrote a piece that I have to recall for you all. 100 miles per gallon for starters over 150 mile race.
Someone converted their Toyota Prius hybrid electric vehicle to get it to go 102 miles per gallon during the 2005 Tour de Sol for the NorthEast Sustainable Energy Association. It is one of the greatest advanced car rallies held throughout the State of New York.
The Prius used less than $1 in electricity and only $4 in gasoline to sustain it during the 150-mile race! The prototype Prius (called a plug-in hybrid) was a message to automakers and consumers that the technology to take hybrids one step further is here.
