    Yeah. The investment is more then I'd put out for now. I've looked into hybrid technology. I did some research on Hydrogen Fuel Cells, and only found disappointment. The cells cost too much and hydrogen doesn't transport enough energy. At about 3.6Litters, it only generates about 42V @...

    Hi, found this topic on Yahoo. We all love EVs, I'm sure. I've read instructions on how to turn a Prius into a plug in EV/hybrid. The reports are (and I do believe them) that most people were getting between 90 and 110 MPG by changing the batteries out to Lithium (no specification of Li-Ion...
