Zipcar adds the plug-in Prius PHEV to its fleet, probably not changing name to Zapcar

Would you like a plug-in Prius, the sort that we spent a few days with
last year, back when the seasons were changing and there was only a
hint of this killer winter to come? Well, too bad, because you still
can't buy them. But Zipcar can, apparently, adding eight of the things
to its fleet, and they're available now in Boston, San Francisco, and
Portland, Oregon. Given the company has 8,000 total cars available
your chances of securing one of these particular Priuses (Prii?) is
slim, but if you score, know that they charge in just three hours on a
110 outlet, and half that if you're wired for 220, so no fancy-pants
charging station is required for use.
