A case for plug-in hybrids

It only takes one power outage to remind consumers that plug-in hybrid vehicles are a safer, more comforting purchase compared to pure electric cars.A Prius about to be converted into a plug-in hybrid

My power went out just before midnight last night and I've blown through both of my notebook's batteries.

No worries. My hybrid is full of juice, so I'm working in my car right now, and this whole experience has me thinking about plug-in vehicles.

Until a much more robust infrastructure for EV charging is developed, instances such as these - and it only takes one - will remind consumers of why a plug-in hybrid is simply a more comforting choice of vehicle than a pure EV.

I never understood why a person's car could not be used as a backup generator if the house power failed.

there must be a good reason.

Seems like a waste to have the car and watch the food spoil in your fridge and not be able to do something about it.

I wonder if it makes any difference if the car is gasoline powered or CNG powered.
