(may be broke/outdated!)
I am considering purchasing a hybrid vehicle, however, I have heard you don’t save much because you have to recharge it every night with electricity, so it sends your electric bill up. I have also heard the cars don’t have alot of power.
Any thoughts?

if you are worried about you electric bill, then buy a hybrid that doesn’t plug in. And it sounds like you’re describing an electric vehicle only.
most hybrid cars dont need to be plugged in any more. Some work on the brakes when you are stopping the brakes charge the batteries it is called degenerative braking it is complex but it works and electric vehicles are pretty fast now and you would not know the difference if you were behide one
yes it did, by alot!!!!!!!!!!
Are you referring to a Plug in Hybrid (PHEV)? As of today there are no production PHEV’s available. The Toyota Prius PHEV wont be out until 2010 at the earliest. There are companies and kits available the will convert the generation 2 Prius to plug in. Some of these conversions get 150 MPG.
You can go a long ways on $3.50 worth of electricity. Depending on the efficiency of the vehicle you can go as far as 200 or more miles. While the average car gets less than 20 miles on the same $3.50 worth of gas. Many people report less than 2 cents a mile in their full electric cars.
No, your electric bill won’t go up the same amount as the cost of the gas you didn’t burn. The trick is to convince the power company that you are using the extra juice at night when the rates are the lowest.
