Electric cars

August 29th, 2007

Tried out the “super electric mode” on the Prius – no petrol engine at all as long as you stay under about 25 mph. Great for traffic though the battery lasted exactly 17 minutes doing this! Maybe it was very run down or something. Cute how you can just ignore this though – the car kindly took itself out of power saving mode, started the engine and I carried in almost unaware.
Still annoyed about the feel of the car but everything else is pretty great – if you already drive a Toyota I can’t see why you wouldn’t buy one of these.
