Doug did you hear about Bob Lutz? He said that global warming was bullshit and that hybrids "make no economic sense". Another argument why you would never buy a car from GM again. Btw have you heard about the Aptera Type-1? It comes in full electric mode 120 mile range for 26900 $ or a plug-in hybrid mode 300 mile(!) range for 29900 $. It will probably sell like crazy when it arrives in late 2008 (hopefully)

Lutz is now on a mission to "greenwash" GM, but few believe him.

We're all hoping for a 3-wheel car like the Aptera, but so far, no car.

I love your videos, and your help with the environment. I'm sorry but I am an Oregonian and had to correct Lisa on how to say Oregon. It is pronounced OR-E-GEEN

[liveoilfree]

Oops! We drove our HondaEV to Eugene, and found out how to pronounce Willamette, but sorry about OR-E-GEEN.

What is an RV?

[liveoilfree]

RV=Recreational Vehcile, like a motor-home or camper. While they get as little as 6 mpg, they generally just drive 100 miles, then stop and grok for a few weeks or months.

EV IS THE FUTURE !

I can tell you why EVs are so expensive. It's because they're so darn cheap that the companies end up stabbing eachother and destroying the technologies in the process. That's why EVs are so expensive.

Props to the woman he's interviewing. She gave great, common sense anserws and didn't loose her cool. This guy is the biggest douche. I guess he's trying to be funny, but he sounds like a retarded 5 year old. Then again, I think a 5 year old would have made more sense.

[BatusaiJack]

I like this guy's questions. Fascinating.

What about people who haveto drive cross country with a big payload like a van full of equiptment and they drive an EV?

That's why i like Shai Agassi's plan for "Better Place". where u can switch out a depleted battery for a new one and keep on going!

[jerrysjunk]

Боже,как здорово! Это замечательное создание и творение ума и рук человеческих!Скорее бы наступил конец легковым автомобилям с двигателями внутреннего сгорания а заодно и нефтегазовым монополистам и олигархам.

Seattle converted their their fleet of 12 prius hybrids to plugins. They report, after 17,000 miles of use, that their average mpg is 51.

Anyone smell a fish?
