Plug-in Hybrid kWh/day [RE-wrenches]

[Joel Davidson]

<x-flowed>

For planning purposes, the plug-in Prius should be available 2010. A Rav4 EV 
owner living in a PV home reports, "Like over 50% of the Californians who 
own a production EV, I charge my batteries with kWh I generate from sunlight 
falling on my house. The economics of buying a PV system and running your 
house and car with it are simply amazing. I paid $15,000 for my 3 kW system 
5 years ago and by my calculation, the system will have paid for itself in 
another 3 years. I haven't been to a gas station in over 5 years. None of my 
money has gone to the oil companies, or by extension, the Saudis."
