This is one of the cooler bits we’ve run on 10 so far; CalCars… Taking a Prius Hybrid to 100+ MPG! …talks to the founder of CalCars and learns how they can convert a Toyota Prius so that it can be charged using your household electricity … power that is a whole lot cheaper than the gas a normal Prius uses to generate all of its electric power.
