The Prius price may have been a typo. I'm going to put it at $42,000 according to this post: http://www.greencarreports.com/blog/1040132_toyota-prius-plug-in-hybrid-on-sale-in-2011-less-than-10k-more I agree a consumer education FAQ would be very helpful. That would be good information to put together with our partners. I will bring it up to them. Thanks for your comment! Hmm. The Prius price may have been a typo.

Also, I believe that it's worth an in-depth education effort (on the part of RMI?) to discuss convey the nuances - the variabilities - associated with EVs and PHEVs. Having driven a RAV4 EV for the past 8 years and a Prius Hymotion PHEV for the past two, neither vehicle may be appropriate for some drivers. Nissan, it appears, is putting some effort into screening potential Leaf buyers. I think that RMI could provide an immense public service by such an "FAQ" effort. “Where did the $47,000 price tag for the Prius plug-in come from?
