Reply to "Electric Replica Speedster, sold yesterday on BAT..."

Folks here keep razzin' on the Prius. I bought a cheap-ass 2010 for $4000 and put $450 worth of battery work into.  It's part of why I can afford a toy car.  I've had it 2 years and it takes about 4-6 gallons of fuel a month.  That and oil changes are the only expenses I've had.  Yeah, it's like driving a toaster, but it gets the toaster jobs done.  Someday Greg will finish my coupe and I'll have a car to have jollies in, meanwhile the Prius or my bike haul my butt to work and back.

I'm with Stan.  I don't understand why they haven't taken this concept to work trucks.  With the space under the floor you could make an E350 sized work van with a 10 gallon fuel tank, and a 350+ mile range.  I think they'd sell fleets of them.
