This challenge was more important for others to learn how to drive an [Prius](http://www.Toyota.com)
plug-in hybrid electric vehicle ([PHEV](https://greenlivingguy.com/2013/10/2014-toyota-prius-plug-in-to-start-under-30000/)).
I’ve been driving electric cars since the 90’s. I know how amazing they are. It’s
a gift to me to see others learn and excel at their MPGe. That means someone else
got the EV bug.

It’s exciting to know others are doing great with the challenge since it’s now another
person that learned how great electric cars: and in this case plug-in [hybrid electric cars](https://greenlivingguy.com/2014/02/prius-sells-like-hotcakes-in-california/)
are for driving.

So[⌊Green Living Guy plugin Prius magnet ⌉](https://i0.wp.com/greenlivingguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/20130808-195112.jpg?quality=52&ssl=1)
Heck, I let others try the car which was much more important than me driving an 
electric car!! My neighbors, friends and family members far and wide. Each one helped
toward the plug in challenge for the American Cancer Society and the World Wildlife
Fund. That is more rewarding now than first, second or third place. I’ll donate 
to the organizations going forward. That’s a fact so it’s not the money. It’s the
principal.
