    The future of the automobile could very well be parked in Michael Angemeer's driveway.

    The president and chief executive officer of Veridian Corp., an electricity distribution company that serves 106,000 customers east of Toronto, wouldn't be the first Ontario executive to drive a Toyota Prius hybrid.

    But he is the first to drive a Prius that can be "filled up" by plugging it into a standard electrical outlet.

    The article makes it clear that this is a transitional car and not the final product. Still, some of us might consider such a modification.

    Toyota is very clear that this modification would affect the warranty. For those who didn't get the extended warranty and are past 36k, this is not an isssue. I presume this would affect only part of the warranty but what part is that? These modifications are not all the same so there may be more than one answer.

    Has anyone gone so far as to consider this question?

    Even if you did not buy the extended warranty, you still need to worry... as the electrical parts of the EV system is warrantied for at least 8yr/100k.
