    Thanks all, for the good words & congrats too. The Aptera? ... yea, what a sad commentary ... but today is a good day because where Aptera imploaded, Leafs & Prius move forward. It's been nearly 7 years of Prius driving, with a life time average of almost 56mpg. Now we're leraning how to think in terms of mp kWh (miles per kilowatt hours) in stead of mpg's. So far (less than 2 whole days) we've brought our efficiency up from 4.2 miles per kWh to 4.5 miles per kWh. I wonder how the numbers will look in 7 MORE years :)
    Im certain of ONE thing - the Prius really taught us how MUCH our driving style/efforts contribute, to what the Prius can do. After all these years I'm a newbie again.

    so, if i can go 4.5 miles on a kwh, and it cost .10, $4.00 takes me 180 miles?

    Pretty much. Or - at 4.5 miles per kWh:
    If you pay 5 cents, that'd be $2.00 to go 180 miles.
    If you pay 30 cents, that'd be $12.00 to go 180 miles.

    Too much math - that's why we went PV solar a couple years ago.
    0 cents funding the Al Queda flight school program. ;)

    Advanced technology cars reward driving style in the city. I tried looking ahead to lights, keeping steady flow, etc... in the Accord, but not motivated to do that much more - when in the city in a conventional, you're screwed anyway.
