    I backward researched a few topics and ultimately ended up finding this thread, researching the following:

    Luscious Garage,
    Jonah Roll Prius Paint job (playing Pink Floyd while custom painting ... does it get any better? :p ),
    Carolyn Coquillette



    It uses Plugin Conversons, which I'd researche way back when they 1st started. Now, it seems they're doing 70mph pure EV ... and running 25 miles pure EV ... maybe not both together ... I don't know yet.

    But HECK! This Carolyn chick up in the CA bay area (don't tell my wife!)? ... Woah! I think I'm in love!
    :wub:

    :D

    Here's a blurb about her S.F. shop.

    Definately not at the same time. I have a pluginsupply.com 10 Kw system and I can go 30-35 miles all electric , but not at top speed. That's 30-45 on city streets.

    It'll be nice when plug-ins aren't lugging around all that extra weight (gas engine!). Imagine the extra range, acceleration, etc.
