By the looks of things there is a big push on car makers to develop a plug-in hybrid car that can travel a 100 miles on a single gallon of gasoline. The million dollar question is, are plug-in hybrids economically viable at this point of time and when the technology hits the market are hybrid users going to spend another $10,000 or more just to upgrade to a plug-in kit. I would watch and wait before doing anything. Plug-in hybrids, which use larger batteries than regular hybrids to travel up to 60 miles on electricity alone, come courtesy of the same type of California garage tinkerers who invented Ping golf clubs and Apple computers.
