Quote of the Day: Coal-powered car edition

In a discussion of black market light bulbs, a commenter notes that no coal is required to power a Prius. Robb responds:

You are correct.

The electricity fairy shits 110 VAC.

Heh.

Black market light bulbs. Black market toilets. Using “off road” air intakes on cars. Popping flow restrictors off of shower heads. It’s like I woke up in some bad Soviet era novel.

    Technically he was correct. The Prius is a Hybrid and not an EV.

    But it was funny snark nonetheless if I do say so myself.

    I here I had my hopes up you were gonna talk about a car with a coal gasifier unit attached….

  4. Ash Says:

    Alarming how many people are ignorant of how a hybrid works.

  5. Mr Evilwrench Says:

    Where’s the plugin on a Prius? Ain’t none. But for the ones that have it, it could just as well be a nuke plant, but… yeah right. We’ll be wishing there were enough horses soon.

    Hmm, I thought there was a plug in prius. Looks like not until 2012.

  7. Standard Mischief Says:

    I can’t comprehend people who would own a post-94 prius out of warranty and not immediately hack it for plug-in use.

    Also of note are those plug-in prius owners who ignorantly proclaim that since they make mostly local trips, they’re getting 123 miles per gallon.

    D’oh, I mean gen2 2004+ prius ^^

    I think that there are kits to convert Prius’ to be plug-in.

    Uncle, let me fix that for you;

    “I woke up in some bad Soviet era novel.”

    There.

    Not ignorant at all. Just confused the hybrid for an EV.

  13. Joe Huffman Says:

    The batteries on hybrids (at least the 2006 Prius and 2006 Escape that I am familiar with) don’t have the capacity to make it worthwhile to charge them externally. If you really baby them a full charge will get you about a half mile on the level.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
