These are not stories I'm talking about, they are fact. There's company's converting hybrids into plug in hybrids that make a Prius get 250 MPG. Just think if the electric range of 50 miles is enough to get you to work and back, essentially you are not using any gas, so much better than 250 MPG. This can be done easily on larger SUV's also.
GM is a bit late but they are working on it. They will have a 2 mode Hybrid for the 2008 Yukon. Current Yukons get 21 MPG Hwy which is about what my mother gets on her tiny Hyundai Sonata piece of crap. Although GM's hybrid is late, it out classes the Toyota hybrid. Anyone who doesn't know what a 2 mode hybrid is, a simple explanation is it takes the best of the Toyota design and the Honda Insight design which is designed for long trip MPG and combines the two. This allows the Yukon to continue making better MPG in traffic or on long trips, plus they have an exclusive electronic CVT transmission with no cheap belts or pulleys like current hybrids. Now all they have to do is add a plug in feature with a 50 mile range and there you have it. No manufacturer is currently admitting that they plan on releasing a PHEV but GM is working closely with QTWW on developing them.
You ask why GM would not come out with it if they could? Basically GM like all other car company's are influenced somehow by big oil. Proof of this is how hard they fought electric vehicles in California with the help of big oil.
Without even trying hard and one hand tied behind their back, GM was able to come out with the best electric vehicle ever, the EV1 Gen 2 that the owners loved. It had all the extras like traction control, anti-lock brakes, AC, power everything, keypad ignition, ultra modern interior. So GM is definitely capable, they just need to be forced to do it.
