We couldn't stop with 2, so we got a third. About a month ago I bought a Prius with the intent of converting it into a plug-in. We bought a pack from enginer.com for $3000, and paid to have it installed.
Preliminary results are good - about 75mpg in mixed driving, much better than what you'd get with a standard prius. I haven't tested it in the hills of SF, which I think will be the true test. But in truth, if it could get 60mpg in the hills that would be amazing.
Mom & Dad are driving it out as we speak. Last report was that they were in North Dakota, and will be seeing Mt. Rushmore tomorrow morning.
