Re: Toyota/Lexus hybrid unit sales history

Want to see those numbers leap? Watch when they come out with the plug-in > variant...

I'd have to know more about this technology, because my first thought is: I have no desire to have to plug in (& then unplug) a car in order to recharge it.

From what I understand of the prototype conversions, Cathy, the plug-in version will increase mileage dramatically. As I recall the EV range is extended 10-fold from the present 4 miles to 40 miles. If this is the case, someone with less than a 40-mile round trip commute would hardly burn any gasoline, usually just plugging the car in when they came home from work. Moreover, if these cars can be charged using off-peak power, they could dramatically improve the efficiency of our electric power utilities. Check this link:

You wouldn't have to; it would offer plug-in recharging in addition to hybrid technology.

I read one small article recently about this - & that's the number I seem to remember - ~10X. Which is great. But...

If this is the case,

But that's the thing - you may assume you're not going any place once home from work, only to have to go out later - plug, unplug, plug, unplug. Could just plug it in before going to bed for the night, but... unless the car's in an attached garage (which mine isn't; nor are many people's), would require going outside late at night to plug in. And in the winter, that'd be a really unwelcome chore... I assume the people behind this have considered the accompanying scenarios. I hope. .

Will prob. take a gander...

Ah - okay, got it.

Whoa - "The overall price of a PHEV is 10-20% greater than its hybrid counterpart." One'd have to calculate the savings in gas Vs. not dealing w/ plugging it in bad winter weather (or any bad weather, if it involves going outside), as opposed to another $2- 4K+ in price. IOW - would have to project how often the recharging via plugging in deal would actually be used.

It is possible to get the parking sorted so you just park and it is plugged Not needing to think about anything more than just park in the right spot either at home or at work Automatic plugging and occasional trip outside the range would be taken care of by the hybrid

The material at that link is dated. Note the price of gasoline was $1.80 gallon in their analysis. In my area (MN) the cost of electricity has been flat since we saw that price so the savings would be considerably greater than illustrated. Likewise, the cost of batteries has gone down. By the time a PHEV hits the market I expect even more optimistic figures. I have an attached garage. The wire run to my off-peak panel would take an hour and the cost would be insignificant. Your situation is different considering you would probably need an underground run to a post where you park. Also, your home might not qualify for off-peak electricity. So many considerations, so little information. :-)
