Can someone at google.org or rechargeit contact me? I have an opportunity to buy one of these exact cars that you offloaded a while ago and would like some more information on it. I wouldn't mind doing some research on this and possibly owning one. What a great vehicle to have! Please contact me and send me a message. Thanks Google.

Where can you buy a plug-in hybrid? You still can't buy them, but you can covert an existing hybrid vehicle such as a Toyota Prius 2004-2009 with a kit such as an A123 Hymotion L5 conversion kit. There are dealers across the country that will do the conversion.

I like this idea but it only appeals to people like in the video and myself whom are conscious about sustainability. They need to make a car that looks normal if they want everybody buying these. When I see a Prius I cringe and all of a sudden don't are about saving gas money or the environment. Chevy Volt is a step in the right direction but we will see when it actually comes out.

Do you people just judge without watching the rest of the video? I am curious how much you guys actually watched? They could charge at night, but at the end of the video they are also solar charged(check at 4:55 - through the end of the vid) & Another thing, It is a hybrid it still has gas! All your negative comments of worrying about how you would do such and such and OMG what if I live 10 stories up... This is why our country or world will never change.. We should end petroleum dependency !!!

How do you safely plug the car to an electric outlet in the pouring rain? How do you prevent a teenager unplugging your car during the night as a prank? Hybrid cars that have a built in recharging mechanism have more of a future I think. If you're staying in a hotel and your room is on the 10th floor how are you going to run an extension cord from your room to your car?
