"A plug-in hybrid converted Prius, can get as much as 30-35 miles on battery recharged from your outlet"

With what battery technology? Some conversions use LiIons. LiIons have great power density, but they lose capacity every time they get discharged. The Li anode oxidizes when in a discharged state, and can't recover the lost capacity. And they ain't cheap.
