Aussie plug-in hybrid car unveiled
A car of the future, which can be charged from a household power point, has been unveiled in Melbourne.
The vehicle was converted into a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) by an Australian university team.
The green car, which can be charged directly from the domestic power grid, was shown off by green company Szencorp and Sydney's University of Technology (UTS).
The PHEV uses a converted Toyota Prius, fitted with extra batteries for greater storage and a power socket so it can be charged directly from the grid.
