How do you get 100+ mpg from your car? By getting your Prius converted to a plug-in version, as Ryan Fulcher explains in the video above (read more here). Alternately, you work on making lithium ion batteries a reasonable reality for production cars, and that's something that GM brought a little bit closer yesterday with an announcement from Traverse City, which AutoblogGreen liveblogged.

Hahaha.. yeah the future is here and it only costs 22,175 + 12,000 and it runs for 60miles.
I am curios what changing the battery costs in comparison to just buying the gas.
Electricity is the perfect alternative for all the green posers. They can just offload the dirty work to the electric company. But I know, everyone is going to run down to the local Wal-Mart and buy a wind-mil to power their Prius. Right?
Right.
