Prius Prime rocks

Action: 7 - Buy/lease an electric car/hybrid

We'd been thinking about getting an electric or hybrid-electric for some time but hadn't made the commitment. I used Energize Wayland's website to see the impact of making the switch and found that the impact was even greater than I'd expected. The website was a big help in pushing us over the contemplation stage. We love our Prius Prime. The first 25 miles (or more if driven right) is all electric. After that, we're still getting 54 mpg on gas. However, we use the car almost exclusively for local trips, so we're getting 2000 miles on a single tank of gas. Also, our electricity at home is 100% wind-powered, so that makes the car even more attractive. Add in the government rebates and it's an easy decision.
