Re: Plug in Hybrids???
More work is being done on plug-in hybrids. Even Toyota is testing a few in Japan . Some members of our electrci auto group have seen what looks like plug-in prius vehicles in the Arizona Peroia area near the Toyota testing center.
GM says it is trying to make a plug-in hybrid that will run all electric for the first 40 miles. They are working with A123 and other lithium battery makers.
Calcars continues to work with all groups on converting a prius to plug-in. They have used sealed lead acid batteries and NiMH Nilar batteries as well as some lithium battery versions.
FORD says it will have a plug-in version of the Edge in 2008. The back up fuel is hydrogen so we will see if it's real and affordable since a fuel cell is very expensive and there are few places that sell H2.
The next year, 2008 will be very interesting.
