You would have to come up with a way of putting them into a Hybrid to give the consumer the range for traveling. I commute 82 miles each way to work. If I could recharge while I drive, it would make sense. I guess the question is… Can the Hybris engine turn out the voltage needed to recharge the Altair battery?

But I guess GM want to replace batteries every year and create more polution since this way she can make more money in extra batteries replacement.

Use the $ 100 billion spent in Iraq and buy Priuses and give them away free of charge. With the extra fuel revenue the federal government should give away the most efficient cars in the future.

Wed, 14 Mar 2007 23:26:01 +0000 http://127.0.0.1/wordpress12/?p=1059#comment-3560 Federal Interference (2 wars in the Persion Gulf in less than 15 years) is why gas prices have been so low for the last 15 years.

Without Federal Interference, 155mpg Plug-Ins will be the source of theIr own destruction.
Widespread use of 155mpg Plug Ins would cause gas prices to collapse and usher in a new era of Gas Guzzling SUVs.

Without a gradualing increasing tax on fossil fuels, we (including the anti-government conservatives) are all DOOMED.

Awareness of global warming is increasing. I think people are going to want plug-in technology. When there is demand, there are solutions.

I have high hopes but low expectations based on past performance. GM must realize that a plug-in is a long term commitment by a customer and the current 70K mile before the junkyard quality will not do.

It is not going to be federal interference that will bring green technology to the household. It is engineering innovation. It is going to start off expensive. That is how it is for all new technologies. Look at the RAZR cell phone it started at $200 and now companies give them away. It is better to start and sell a product soon at high cost than to wait years or decades for someone else to solve the cost problem. Just take a risk and change the world. There I am finished.
