I drive 50 miles to work and back a day. So I'd have to recharge this guy every other day. Not so bad. Now, how much will it cost me to recharge it? How many kW of power does it take?
And does it blow the breaker on your home circuits when the air conditioner is also running?
"Now, how much will it cost me to recharge it?"
I'm recalling around $1.00 per night, so roughly $30.00 a month, for a Prius converted to plug-in hybrid. Even though the guy refers to his as a hybrid as well, it's a pure electric, so expect something higher, but certainly not double; fifteen dollars a week on your electric bill is way cheaper than a tank of gas a week. Battery replacement is costly, and would have to figure in somewhere, in order to get a good grasp of the comparison, though.
