Not much (or, y'know, any at all) space to put your legs in the third seat row in the Prius +. Same for most other small minivans/wagons like that.
Its nice as emergency seating if you have to bring an extra person, but its really uncomfortable.. (Back when I was a kid, I'd just sit in the back of a stationwagon with a bunch of kids when going to a birthday party, I guess this is a slightly safer, more legal alternative to that.)

My lithium batteries are 2 years old and still appear to be just as strong as the day I started using them.
Ah, I see
My lead battery lasts longer (for now). We'll see.

Thats quite a bit, but how much is is compared to the weight of the truck?

A different question, I found another 97 laptop batteries, but the seller won't ship. Do we have any members in/near London who can pick them up and ship them?
