What a plug-in actually costs
A plug-in hybrid has two fuel economy numbers and the window sticker shows you a third one made by averaging them. The average is weighted by an assumption about how often you charge — a real figure in the federal data, and almost never the same as your life. Pick your car and change the assumption.
