Ron Gremban and Plug-in Hybrids

Californian Ron Gremban, an electrical engineer and environmentalist, showed that he could increase the mileage of his Toyota Prius hybrid by adding a stack of brick-sized batteries in the trunk. The additional batteries, which he can recharge by plugging the car into a wall outlet at his home, provide an extra electrical charge helping the car burn even less fuel.

Soooo...how does he get the car into the house to plug it in? Is this a picture of him? You do nice drawings - very clear and simple. I like Lance with his champagne glass!

Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my IF stuff...it means a lot to me:>

Umm... I think he'd need a long extension cord.

Thanks for stopping by, and I do appreciate the kind words.
