The plug-ins are coming….I’m getting one in 2011…
the oil companies will never allow this, just like they wouldn’t allow the electric car.
now just to attach an on demand hydrogen pump to the engine so it will eliminate the carbon production from internal combustions in the engine. Videos for hydrogen pumps can be found on youtube too.
Plug in hybrids run off electrical industry, the electrical industry doesn’t want this type of thing, they want you to pay them for electricity in your car, house, cell phones, and everything else. Just because its 60c a day doesnt mean its good for environment. industrial windmills are ugly!
Hydrogen takes 3 times as much energy to produce. Plug-in hybrids use about 4 KWH per charge. In my area, that’s about 60 cents per day.
A good idea…thing is, hybrids will only be a stopgap measure until a petroleum replacement finally comes online.
We had the opportunity to work on the necessary research thirty years or more ago, but once the crisis of the day subsided, we turned our back on the good ideas and went straight back to what we already knew. Sad…
who kill the electric car?
it’s such a shame that people LOVE hybrids so much. it takes about 45,000 miles to pay back the 130,000,000BTU carbon debt created for the creation of a small (prius) battery pack. Clean diesel is the way of the future…google search “volkswagen polo bluemotion” (if you also live in America and have not yet heard of it)
The electricity for over-night charging is free? I don’t know how much it takes, but 8-10 hrs for 40 miles look pretty bad to me. Anyhow, I’m 100 % pro non-gasoline engines. Just don’t like being fooled…
but wait oil compeny no stupid they will rise gasoline price so forget about hybrid cars,i’m for electric cars or hydrogen car
the u.s. car companies once made the electric car (ev1) and recalled all of them what will happen with this one?
I’m all for electric cars, make alot of sence – copper is one of the most abundant materials on the planet and electric motors basically last forever. I think batteries will get much better if we get more electric cars on the road, carbon nanotube supercapacitors, brushless motors, and wind/solor/tidal energy would tremendously help the environment.
But I agree, just say to no chemical batteries from china.
its true theres a larger carbon footprint and more pollution created in the making of the batteries
mpg is just a stupid comparison when you consider the overall environmental effect… lets take into consideration the total carbon footprint in manufacturing and running the car in its usual life cycle and see if it is worth the investment and complexity… u wanna save little birds then just ride a bicycle
? Is the force of gravity electricity generation, d ?
due to the unleaded gas additives u will only be able to keep the gas in your tank for a couple months then the additives will turn into sludge.. of course we’ll never see this car it’ll be suppressed like everyother vehicle that has come along
Don’t worry.. Asian car companies will do it. They are not beholden to big oil and it is also a matter of survival for them. Asia does not have that much oil. Check out Honda’s FCX Clarity. I think it is the car of the future although plug in hybrids will be in the interregnum.
Yea. what happend to the Telsa Roadster. that thing was cool. just too expensive i guess.
in the future when we have lots of 150mpg cars barely using gasoline or not even using gasoline at all the govt will have to tax you somewhere other than the gasoline sales tax.
so you don’t win financially though we would be consumer less foreign oil but which consumer really cared where the oil came from the last 100 years. they just wanted to drive their SUVs
pluging the car in is a positive. And is the larger point; to use electricite to power the car.
yeah nothing surprises me anymore. We’ve had antigrav tech (alien or not) since the 20′s if not 40s/60s. Nick Tesla right?
Why don’t we focus on developing a technology that does not conflict with the most basic laws of physics.
this will NOT be in production…EVER!! oil companies and bush administration will put war on electric cars after war on terrorism. Disobey the oil companies, AND YOU WILL DIE!!!
150mpg shouldn’t be ‘extreme’ it should be the standard. Some day.
oh poor you, you have to plug it in at night…..haha
wow – is this chick stupid? “do youhvae to plug in the car?” lol – duh
