If you want to learn some hard facts about hybrid cars. Too often we get our facts from politicians and opinion writers. They got excellent benchmarks to compare various alternatives. For example, it says it takes 150Wh to move a Priuse plug-in one Kilometer. We use 1500 KWh a month(example). So with this much energy a plug-in could travel 6000 miles. Not bad.
