Just got the call that I'm getting the car today.

Vortex22 and phatman are both basically correct. It has a 93hp engine that assists the electric motors and provides some charge. The cool thing is that the brakes provide some charge too. You never plug it in, it has a special battery system that takes up a small amount of space under the rear seat.

BTW, the battery originally came with an 8 year 80K mile warranty. I'm told that the new ones have a 10 year, 150K warranty.

Grondar, I almost forgot to mention, in Calif. it goes for around $21K depending on the stuff you add. The one I'm getting comes pretty well equiped.
