Plug-in Hybrids Get a Boost
March 28th, 2008 by Gabriela Quirós
Today’s San Francisco Chronicle reports on the California Air Resources Board’s decision to require automakers to produce more low-emissions cars such as plug-in hybrids and on the plug-ins that GM, Toyota and Ford are now testing.
If you’re curious about how plug-in hybrids actually achieve 100 miles per gallon, watch Plug-in Hybrid Cars, the story I produced for QUEST. The segment follows a group of weekend mechanics hacking a Toyota Prius to make it into a plug-in hybrid.
Enjoy!
