Prius don’t need electricity. They use the brake to charge the battery. You can also drive them under 20 miles per hour and not use any gasoline.
They are good cars to have when gasoline supplies are low.
Partly right, but You might want to do a little more research on that.
Yes, but energy is lost in the process, energy is expended against wind and rolling resistance... Ultimately, if a charging station is not available, a chargeable hybrid is just a high mpg vehicle with a very high cost for what you get. Compared to a Prius, I'd rather find a restored Honda CRX 1.3 with a 5-speed tranny, and stash a couple 5 gal cans of gas in the garage, if trouble is on the way. (Granted, that last won't work for hi-rise dwellers. But a CRX 1.3 or HF will go a LONG way on a tank of gas.)

At that point, a bicycle might be a better alternative!
