All these mild hybrids still have large IC engines and an almost useless electric motor. It's a marketing gag, otherwise Merc, BMW, VW etc would have them too, but didn't as crap. They stuck to diesels. Next gen FULL hybrids with small IC engines acting as generators (still kick out CO2, but FAR less) powering very powerful electric motors will work. Yep, plugins use grid power which burnt something. Fossil or Atomic. Prius cars etc are MILD hybrids, a hybrid principle that is, well, shite.

It is simply wrong to assume the Prius is better on fuel than a diesel. No way. They conducted tests in germany comparing all the various primary movers. The prius used more fuel than a Golf diesel. What the mild hybrid WILL do is put out a little less CO2, but NOT more fuel effecient. Toyota and Honda make MILD hybrids, the prime mover is still a large IC engine. Mild hybrids are useless. But the new full hybrids will be FAR better than anything now. no, I disagree with your numbers entirely. It is simply wrong to assume the Prius is better on fuel than a diesel. No way.

But wait till the full hybrids come out. Then nothing will touch them. New powerful electric motors will have FAR more power and have FULL torque at every speed and every RPM unlike IC engines that have to develop power by revving.

It is generally accepted in professional circles that the current MILD hybrids still can't beat diesels for fuel efficiency. You will be right re CO2, the prius will kick out a little less CO2 when in electric mode, these things are often mixed up. We are trying to get CO2 down and fuel usage down. All current MILD hybrids can't beat diesels in terms of fuel consumption.

Well that wouldn't be so bad, except it costs $12,000 to replace the Hybrid battery. Secondly, The Hybrid cars use a Nickel Alkaline batteries. The Nickel is processed into Nickel Alkaline at the INCO Nickel Smelter superstack, Sudbury Ontario, Canada. The process releases Methane, Sulfer-dioxide and nitric-oxylate. The Production of Hybrid cars is far more enviromentaly unfriendly than a Hummer. Did you know it is recomended to switch the Hybrid battery out every 25,000 miles?
