yes, but the price of $9500 for Prius doesn't sound promissing. Also how long will the battery pack last? If they use full capacity (TCH uses less than 50% of full battery capacity to extend it's life) and I would speculate they do by x7 range and small size, the battery may not last more than lets say 3yrs/36k??? If they lowered the price to 1/3 and had at least 50k warranty I think I would be interested. Of course that's assuming that there is no gas shortage like in the past, because if there was one they wouldn't be able to make enough of them. I think Prius with this battery is rated at 100-150 mpg, but that doesn't include the price of electricity needed to recharge the battery. I think they claim 40 miles pure electric range, TCH would probably be less by 1/4.
