Yeah, I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else either.

Which averages out to less than 10 miles per trip; within the PiP range.
Good point. I wonder if the trip timing also averages out to permit the ~3 hour 110v recharge between each.

Don't get me wrong: a PIP would work perfectly for practically everybody who lives & works in my (small) city. But Toyota's still going to lose massively against the Volt in this contest.
