I recharge the battery everyday. My typical cost to recharge a day is $0.15. And, I drive 60 miles a day.

The cost of my electricity does go up a little. Right now I'm paying over $3.50 a gallon for gasoline to go about 50 miles on that energy. The equivalent energy in electricity is about $0.80. So, my energy costs per miles driven has gone down dramatically. However, the cost of the system is still expensive. The price is coming down.

How many times times you charge the battery?

Got a question, I have a Prius, wish to get that technology, but would charging the battery add the cost to your electric bill significantly? If not, SIGN ME UP!

I've learned to be careful with the gas gauge as the flexible gas tank sometimes doesn't fold out to full size, so the prius think it has a full tank, but in reality, it's only around 78% full. I've run out of gas in a prius because of this, and it's why the gas gauge is nicknamed the "wonder gauge".

The main trunk space is the same, no change. The extra battery uses half of the small hidden space below the main trunk deck. And, I sill have my spare tire.

5000 miles with only 4 tanks of gas!? thats superior. My Civic Si coupe I bought couple months back had more stops to the gas station than I can count

It's actually very backed-up too. Any small car, most notably ones with low-power engines, will have a noticeable decrease in acceleration for a given throttle. The extra "flooring it" time needed to get to speed may remove the benefits of traveling less often to the gas station. Definitely interesting, and I'm surprised it isn't mentioned very often among hypermiling tips.

how's the trunk spacethe regular hybrid battery takes alot of space as it is |
