The next phase of hybrid development
http://www.nbc.com/assets/video/widg...ml?vid=1409590
I agree w Leno that this puts the Volt Hybrid technology smack in the middle of the automotive map. Really very significant IMO. And some really cool benefits derived from electric drive.

Re: The next phase of hybrid development
I agree its even better. This is really mainstream. I love the idea of welding using your truck as the generator.

Re: The next phase of hybrid development
Electric rates have been rock solid for many years, and it's also a big FU to the oil companies. (Is it ok to say FU, it's not ok to say EFN.)

Re: The next phase of hybrid development
Here in IL they have de-reg'd the electrical providers. So I'm paying $.059/kwh

This guy lives near me and I ran across him in my Z at several lights. He was obviously showing it off. It was in an area of town that you just don't want to "play" but I can tell you his hole shot is crazy fast. I can envision a C8 vette with electric and doing 10sec 1/4mi but I can also see the need for a 1kw stereo in it playing V8 music in time with the speed
