    Nate,

    Until you get your beloved plugin just pretend that your EBH is powering your prius. I've often wondered if anyone has noticed the block heater plug hanging out the front and thought that I need to plugin to run the car.

    There's no humor here!

    The Rav doesn't have a plug - it has a charging port. The charger is off-board, and actually plugs into the car. Here is a whole page of different chargers that I've visited:

    Are you EVER going to visit my site, Tracy? This stuff is all there!

    Tripp, What's a block heater do for your Prius? I haven't gotten a chance to research all that stuff yet!

    Hey, I have been lots of places on your site. Just didn't realize you had SO much stuff on it because normally your giving me links to just certain pages.

    That GM car was alittle weird looking :unsure:

    Again... I take this with a grain of salt when coming from a Prius driver! :) I found the EV1 odd looking at first too, and then it grew on me. The Prius still looks odd to me now! The EV1 makes the Prius seem like a brick as far as aerodynamics go. And then there's the Rav. Yikes.

    Well it's cute just kinda funny shaped.

    Your Rav4 looks just the regular Toyota Rav4s doesn't it?

    The people who have viewed my Prius so far like the way it looks.

    Oh, I'll write a review, for sure. This isn't the guy involved in making the Scion, though. The tie-in is that the guys making the Scion (ACP) are the ones who supplied the awesome controller for the X-1. That same controller is in several other cars, including Volvo's Li-ion EV proto, the 3CC:

    obviously hit a cord here... this thread got thick quick! hey, im with Darrellddd. i have said it many times before and i will say it again, when Toyota offers the extended EV range Prius, i will be first in line to get it. and will gladly fork over the estimated $3-5,000 premium

    hehehe... and at 6.225 cents/kwh...i think its worth it. thank you Columbia !!

    Hey! No pushing!

    Keep your fingers crossed for 2008. You just never know. But the push for this stuff has never had more momentum than it does now. First time in a while that I've allowed myself to even be hopeful.

    Now... If I can just buy the CURRENT Prius, I'd be happy until then...

    OK... funny story relating to this. I was talking with a guy online the other day, and he asked for some "EV info." I sent him the link to the home page of my EV site. 20 minutes later, he writes back and says, "OK, I've read your whole site, and I still need [something] explained to me."

    20 minutes? Ain't gonna happen! And believe it or not, I'm VERY selective of what goes on that site! My hard drive, on the other hand is a wee bit cluttered with the left-overs! :)
