Thanks! I appreciate the information.

I've been reading about grid chargers. When one needs to start using a grid charger, how often do you typically use one to keep the pack functional on a single grid charge?

Also, how long roughly will grid charging work before a new pack becomes inevitable?

I'm curious about these so I know what I'm getting myself in to. I understand the questions can't be answered definitively, but just trying to get some sort of idea.


From what I understand, members at insightcenteral, are working on a lithium plug in pack? Is this to allow the lithium pack to be charged and driven with more assist and increasing mpg? Is the idea with this to completely replace the current battery pack? Any idea if it will charge as well while driving or only by plugging the car in while not in use?


I'm just looking at the options down the road. I know this isn't ready yet and may never be ready. I could definitely use something that would run 15-30 miles on a charge. I keep my cars for a long time, so I'm looking down the road and the potential of the car. I only put about 7k miles on my car a year, so something like an insight would last a very long time for me (except the batteries). edit: Doing some reading, PHEV seems to be the correct term for this.

I have the mechanical knowledge to fix the transmission issue myself when it starts acting up.
