The question was:
"What's the relationship cost per kWh power : cost per mile driven?"
The context was "Plug-in Prius by 2010"
I provided information that addressed the question and did so in context. I
doubt you can find anything confrontational in that. Tell us, Michelle,
when did we stray from the question/context and when did this become
confrontational? Was it when you challenged my comment about a PHEV with a
reply about a HEV? Do you consider charging a PHEV with the ICE equivalent
to charging one with electricity at home? I don't. Before you go off half
cocked you may want to read the thread and note the subject.
