I had a chance to see a new company in MN that adds batteries to hybrids like the Prius. It really extends the range of those cars on nearly 100% electricity.
For ~$5k installed, they will make the Prius essentially a plug-in Hybrid. If I were buying a new car today, I'd seriously consider a used Prius plus this battery package.
I live in an area where electricity in the evening has a large fraction from local wind farms, making the evening 'fill up' as earth-friendly as we get here in the midwest.
