The Electro-Metro is usually 250-300ish as well. Again, no regen, and I make no claims about the quality of the tires, wheel-alignment, or heck, the entire conversion process....
I DID get the Prius in the garage today! With no basement, our house is very limited on storage space. The only "workshop" I get is in my detached garage, but with a new car, I have to somewhat give that up as well!
On the news, it sounded like a winter storm was headed our way too, so I really wanted to make space.
I shuffled everything around and was able to get the Prius in the garage. I put a "loft" in by modifying some pallet racking, and parked the motorcycles and bikes under it. The Prius just squeezes in between the garage door and the motorcycles.
Since the Prius is loaded, it includes a built-in garage-door opener. I got that programmed to work with our opener.
When I left home this morning, the Prius was unplugged. When I got back home, it was plugged in and charging! I asked my wife. She went to the store and back and plugged the car in after she parked it.
She also told me that she was afraid that she drove off this morning with the cord still plugged in! I assured her that the charger interlock means she wouldn't even be able to turn the car on if it's plugged in. The other night, I tried to put the car into "accessory mode" to program the radio presets. It wouldn't go on at all. It took me a minute to realize that safety lock-out on the Hymotion kit prevents you from even booting up the system if plugged into the wall.
