Thanks.Charlie
Should be about 4 miles per kWh - so 3 cents per mile EV at 12 cents per kWh.

The battery in the '04 Prius is 1.3 kWh, but it only lets you have a fraction of that for EV mode (max 500 Wh, but typically only about 300 Wh).

The 9 miles range would require 2.25 kWh, about $900 worth of lithium-ion.
