   You don't *have* to charge the Prius plug-in, which makes it convenient. if you   
   don't, you get "only" 50 mpg.   
      
   It's about 0.9 kwh to charge at home, takes about 3 hours for a full charge.   
   PG&E has a EV charge plan that's time of day based, I'm going to look into   
   that. Plug the car in when you get home, set the timer, and it'll charge at   
   off-peak time.
