What I Have to Say about Hybrid Cars

admin — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 01:06:19 +0000

I take a pro-environment but critical and scientific and open-eyed look at hybrid cars, with a focus on the Toyota Prius, since it’s like “the” hybrid car.

A number of experimental tests are done as well as an analysis through theory on gas milage, production, breakeven energy, and more.

The 150 MPG Extreme hybrid suv, the XH-150 introduced in January by AFS Trinity Power Corporation, starts a cross country tour on April 8, 2008 to give Americans their first onroad look at what CNN and others suggested may be “the car of the future,” as the XH-150 works its way to Earth Day on the Capitol Mall in Washington, D.C. on Sunday, April 20, 2008.

Halfway through the cross country trip, the XH-150 will be demonstrated on April 11 for Austin Energy, a large municipal utility as well as for the leadership of Plug-in Partners, an Austin headquartered consortium of electric utilities and others supporting the development and introduction of new plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) technologies. AFS Trinity intends to make the XH150 available for selected test drives in several communities from coast to coast.

Introducing the AFS Trinity XH-150™
Extreme Hybrid™ SUV

150 Miles Per Gallon

It looks like an SUV, it hauls like an SUV,
But that’s where the similarities end.

The XH-150 is a plug-in hybrid electric car,
With performance that surpasses comparable gas cars.

This is not a concept car.
It’s on the road now.

And it won’t be long
before you can own one.

We have to stop sacrificing blood and treasure for oil.
And we should stop converting our food supply to fuel.

Spending half a trillion dollars on hydrogen gas stations just doesn’t make sense.
Especially when there is more than enough electricity, even if all our cars were plug-ins.

What seemed impossible has just been done.
Look for “Powered by Fast Energy™”.
It’s a sign that something great is happening.

Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles

admin — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 17:54:26 +0000

A video by Plug-in Partners promoting the many benefits of Plugin Hybrids Electric Vehicles. If the current U.S. vehicle fleet were replaced overnight with PHEVs, oil consumption would decrease by 70 to 90 percent, eliminating the need for oil imports and leaving the U.S. self-sufficient in oil for many years to come. Even if the electrical power for those vehicles were drawn from coal-fired power plants, CO2 emissions would drop by more than half. If the power were produced by renewable energy sources, and the fuel in the tank were biodiesel or ethanol, the proposition gets exponentially better.

And you can get 100+ MPG!
