Guess plan b is buy a cable and go to a charging station and see.
Plan C, make a CL add and see if someone has a cord and charger you can plug in?

The PiP uses a single lithium ion battery for both EV and hybrid mode. The car reserves a portion of the battery for hybrid use so that it always functions at least as well as a normal Prius. I don't remember what fraction is reserved though.
In any case, all problems are now my responsibility. I traded 135 bills for the car and it's now registered to me. I've never carried so much money before, and I had some reservation about meeting the Russians alone. Best I can tell, they were good guys that didn't know much about the car and were just trying to make an honest buck.
I have a 300 mile round trip to Bend tomorrow, so we'll see if any gremlins shake loose.
