If thats the case i'll plug it in my neighbors house. lol
I remeber reading somewhere that it takes somewhere around 10 hours to fully charge it (a guy converted a prius to Lithium Ion betteries and added a plug to charge it at night).

If it cost 12 cents per KW/HR you are spending $1.20 a night to go from 60mpg to 100+ mpg, worth it? and thats for a full charge too. I believe he could go as far as 30 miles w/o having the car start gas engine for extra power.
Another reason why toyota beats honda in hybrids, the prius's 60HP electric engine can drive the car w/o the gas engine vs hondas 20hp electric engine.
