    Even though Toyota has said that they don't think that a plug-in Prius is
    the way to go for the long haul, they will have one at the Frankfort
    show, Sept. 15, 2009. :rockon:

    I really want to see this and the specs -- especially EV range.

    :cheer2: Woo Hoo! :cheer2:

    Been thinking about a PHEV system...

    Sure, it's going to charge the HV battery. But it could be so much more.

    But what if it had a built-in controller so you could also select block
    heater timing.

    And while we're blue-skying it, there are small heating elements in the
    air conditioning system. Why no add the ability to have preselected fan
    and interior temps for a warm and toasty interior on frosty mornings?
