hmm, well we are on the same page on page 14, re: Power split for hybrids with plug-in. and all of them list aero.

What do you use for a replacement battery cost, 4k for a standard prius? If we consider plug-ins with "decent" electric range, the cost will go up considerably though, you need to spend more on a battery to get more range. What are the prius plug in kits going for, like $8k?
