I like the fact that the Toyota Prius is electric but I don't know how practical that is.
Electric vehicles like the Prius use regenerative brakes, which means whenever you brake you are charging your car! This saves you from having to waste time charging your car in the future.
Interesting, I didn't know that.  I have never driven and electric car, have you?
Government incentives for plug-in electric vehicles
Government incentives for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles have been established by several national governments and local authorities around the world as to support the adoption of plug-in electric vehicle. These policy driven incentives main include purchase rebates, tax exemptions and tax credits, and additional perks that range from access to bus lanes to waivers on fees (charging, parking, tolls, etc.). The amount of the financial incentives usually depends on battery size and the vehicle all-electric
speed of the adoption of electric vehicles, essentially turning the current perceived glut of relatively cheap fission-electricity into an asset, as demand for electric vehicle recharging stations becomes more and more commonplace.
Due to France's very low-carbon power electricity grid, the carbon dioxide emissions from charging an electric car from the French electricity grid are 12 g per km traveled. 
This compares favourably to the direct emissions of one of the most successful hybrid electric vehicles, the Toyota Prius, which produces carbon dioxide emissions at
