A step in the right direction for electric cars/plug-in hybrids

A plug-in hybrid is a car which runs on 100% electric power for a period of time (i.e., a certain number of miles), then switches to a hybrid electric/gas model similar to the current production Toyota Prius.



Volvo has unveiled a plug-in hybrid at the Frankfurt auto show. Details and more photos here

On a related note, if you haven't seen the documentary, Who Killed the Electric Car, I recommend it. It's quite disturbing...
