Hey i was wondering about those electric cars they have now that run on a battery for like 12 hours. Gas prices stink!! so I’d like an alternative to gas and i hear they drive really well. thanks!
As of July 2008, plug-in hybrid passenger vehicles are not yet in production. However, Toyota,[3] General Motors,[4] Ford,[5] Chinese automaker BYD Auto,[6] California startups Fisker Automotive[7] and Aptera Motors,[8] and Volkswagen[9] have announced their intention to introduce production PHEV automobiles. The PHEV-60 BYD F6DM sedan and F3DM hatchback are expected in 2009;[10] the luxury Fisker Karma PHEV-50 sports car is slated for late 2009; and the Toyota Prius, GM’s PHEV-40 Chevrolet Volt and Saturn Vue and the Volkswagen Golf PHEV50km plug-ins are expected in 2010.[11][12] Conversion kits and services are available to convert production model hybrid vehicles to plug-ins.[13][14] Most PHEVs on the road in the U.S. are conversions of 2004 or later Toyota Prius models, which have had plug-in charging added and their electric-only range extended.

what?? Hybrids run on gasoline or diesel fuel. NO CAR can run on a battery for 12 hours, it isn’t possible unless they are going 3 miles per hour.
Go read about hybrids yourself and quit listening to strangers with all types of wild stories.
