PHEVs: Toyota versus GM
SAE explores the differences of plug-in hybridsGreenCarCongress has a great summary of papers presented yesterday at SAE regarding different plug-in hybrid vehicles - plug-in parallel hybrids versus series hybrids.
Basically, Toyota believes that, in the near term, plug-in parallel hybrids will achieve more cost-effective performance than series hybrids, or range extended vehicles, as GM prefers to call the Chevy Volt.
GM seems to accept this possibility, which is why GM is building both types of plug-in hybrids concurrently. Still, GM and GreenCarCongress believe range extended vehicles offer the greatest long term potential.

There is a breakthrough in the plug-in hybrid conversion kit. AutomationTech Inc is offering complete conversion kit for under $2000. It adds additional 2KWH battery pack parallel to the original stock battery pack. You can charge the new battery pack at home using regular AC extension cord and improve your fuel efficiency by 40%-100%. The kit qualify for 10% federal tax credit under Recovery Act if installed in existing car. If the automaker pre-installs it in the new car, it qualify for $2500 federal tax credit under Recovery Act. That means the plugin kit is free for new car buyers. More info visit www.enginer.us
