I am concerned that I won't get the best gas mileage unless I can find an outlet at my workplace.
Will the car recharge the battery while driving on the freeway, or only when coasting and braking?
What do you guys think?

I have 12 mile commute each way. You aren't going to make 18 miles on all electric. Not possible unless it's downhill the whole way.
I get about 33mpg on my commute. Still don't have a good handle on how much I'm paying for recharging the batteries every night. Working on that...
Now, when I had a bunch of errands to run around the neighborhood a couple of weekends ago, I was at 50+mpg for the 80 miles I covered. Lots of short trips and I always plug in when I get home regardless of the time of day.
