Summary: Sales will begin January 30, 2012. Minimum sales price will be ¥3,200,000 ($41,000). after government rebates it comes to ¥2,750,000. it takes roughly 3 hours to recharge. The range on batteries alone is 26.4 km. Efficiency is 60.1 km per liter (141 mpg), compared to an ordinary Prius which gets 32.6 km per liter (77 mpg). (Those efficiency ratings sound too high to me.) They hope to sell 60,000 vehicles next year in Japan, the US and Europe. - Jed
