Why this focus on Prius, when there’s X ?

I’m follwing the drive train manufacturer and know there’ll be a leading EU-OEM in the Frankfurt autoshow, making this technology main stream.

This is crucial: let the OEM’s keep their USP’s and deliver drive trains to them, or anyone else able/willing to retrofit existing -fleets of- vehicles.

And thereby reducing dependency, conflict, wasting resources, pollution, political/governance mediocricity.

Next steps: fill’r up with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrated_Solar_Power ” rel=”nofollow”>CSP and connect to the grid where you can.

Ask http://www.google.org/recharge/ and Sir Richard to adopt all this and see how many hearts the West can win in Iraq or any other region the West has problematic relations with..

I have often wondered why gasoline cars are not used as generators also. They run quietly, and might be cheaper than the grid. No line loss. The electrical system could be beefed up. There has been talk of a 24 volt standard anyway, due to demands for more electronics today. I think electric cars which can self charge, with a built in generator, make the most sense also. That is, for when a plug is not available. Good comment. I have often wondered why gasoline cars are not used as generators also. They run quietly, and might be cheaper than the grid. No line loss.

Most outages are over in a few hours. Minimal use with fans, a light, and radio could run for days. Also for camping, and working with electric tools away from a power source.
