(yawn) It's early on a Friday morning and 'Leafy Green' hasn't had his steaming cup of fair trade organic coffee yet. So rather than write a witty, interesting article about this hybrid technology, I will lazily post a huge blockquote from the article and encourage you to hit the jump for the full story. Got that?
Andrew Frank, a professor from the University of California at Davis, is among the North American researchers attending the PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles) 2007 Showcase & Forum. He is described as the "father of the modern plug-in hybrid electric" for his 30 years in the field.
Frank believes the plug-in hybrid would work well in Manitoba, where outdoor power outlets and hydro-electric power are abundant.
"The typical person who gets up in the morning, goes to work and comes back, would use electricity alone, would use no gasoline on a daily basis," he said.
Oh, I think I heard the coffee maker stop gurgling. Joy!
Okay, kiddies HIT THE JUMP FOR THE FULL STORY.
