    You don't ever plug hybrid vehicles in, unless you're one of those hackers who have modified their cars.

    All of the energy is generated by the gasoline engine.

    How the hell are there still people who think you plug hybrids in?

    use fission reactors to generate alot of electricty this tech has been around for about 40 years now but people are to afraid of a nuclear explosion or somesuch hogwash. If you pay for its maintenence it can give you good clean power for a lone time and be extremely safe. Tell your local hippies to STFU and build more nuclear reactors.
