Toyota charging ahead with plans for plug-in hybrid
For all you bleeding-heart liberals out there who'd like to do a little less bleeding and a little more Rejoicing with that big ol' heart o' yours, check out my buddy Klintron's wonderful Rose-Colored News. I got hipped to this little tidbit whilst hangin' there.
The plug-in being pursued by Toyota would be able to ''travel greater distances without using its gas engine; it will conserve more oil and slice smog and greenhouse gases to nearly imperceptible levels.''
Plug-in hybrids use larger battery packs that can be recharged through a typical 120-volt outlet, allowing a driver to travel locally on battery power before the vehicle switches to the gasoline engine. DaimlerChrysler has been developing a plug-in hybrid van.
