The Prius holds much more than you can imagine. the backseats fold down flat and we have carried several pieces of Lanai rattan furniture in it at one time. It appears to be a very small car, but the interior offers lots of very usable cubic feet of cargo space. When we were putting mulch in this spring, we carried 16-20 bags of mulch in one load. The guys at Lowe's were shocked that we could load that many bags into the car. '
My friends in Ca that have plug in electrics also have a gas engine. When the electric reaches it's max it seamlessly converts to the gas engine. Thus getting 90 +/- mpg. Thus no need for the super long cord to reach home! LOL! I would love to have one. But as long as Florida lags behind the rest of the country in Solar and alternative energy support from the government, it just won't happen.
In Utah, if you had solar, any excess went into the grid and you were paid (credit on your power bill), same as Ca and many other states. Plus state as well as Federal tax incentives to install solar. Dark ages here regarding alternative energy sources.
But back to my visor and garage door opener...........
