HybridCars

Frequently Asked Questions

This answers most of them...

As for the Honda EV... it looks like General Motors did them in with a sale of the patent rights for the battery to Texaco/Chevron. Patent fights ensued. Upshot was, no battery.... no Honda. And of course Texaco/Chevron is well known for encouraging the use of alternate fuel vehicles.

And GM plans on using the polluting NiCad batteries in its new Volt car. Of course GM is just giving the people what they want, as they always have.

All in all a good exercise. I now know more about these vehicles. But, would I look good in a Mini? A Mini-Cooper, that is?
