This group looks at sharing informations on the advances of gridable hybrid cars.
These types of vehicles are using a combination of electric mode propulsion and hybrid gas mode propulsion.
With a daily average trip of 20 miles made by 90% of the drivers it is easy to see that a car able to cover that distance in electric mode would bring a big reduction in overall gas consumption.
Electricity would become the main power source and gas would become a mere reserve for hybrid mode driving when more then 20 miles must be covered.
As a result of the lower oil consumption global warming could be curved and smaller volumes of gas could eventually be made from Bio-Ethanol.
The GM EV1, the Toyota Prius, the Tzero and others are all steps leading in that direction.
With the help of people like Alan Cocconi and companies like Iogen or Compactpower; tomorrow, we will all be able to drive more silent, efficient, powerful and ecological cars.
Join the group and start discussing about the ways we can make this come true.

Because PHEVs use less energy than gasoline-powered vehicles, their effect on the environment is much less than that of vehicles powered by fossil fuels.
For those who can only afford one car-that is a different situation that they would carefully need to consider. If my family only could afford one car, I
