I was just looking at Toyota's price listing for the 2011 Prius, $23,000 to $28,000 depending on the options you want, Enginer.us plug in kit for the Prius is $5,500 for their 8kwh battery pack, that should be good for 30+ miles of pure EV mode... so if you want a plug in hybrid why would anyone spend an extra $7,000 to $12,000 for the Chevy volt? right, it's "made in the USA" if that is what you want wait two years till Nissan is building the Leaf in the USA.
