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.
