Bargain price hybrid in works at Honda?

Oks lang kung revival... puwede merge.

Sana nga dalhin nila ito dito... if it costs under 1m, sure ako na maraming bibili (comparatively... ha... as compared to any other hybrid they could bring in).

Although how much better the Jazz's mileage can get, I'm not sure. It's already crazily economical as it is.

80mpg

wow ang tipid ah..

wow...tapos magbababaan na presyo ng gas.

hindi lang babaan ng gas bagsakan pa...

On TV, I saw a kind of twist to the hybrid car technology. The main problem of using a hybrid car is the power still ultimately comes from gasoline or diesel fuel and the hybrid electric system is only used to increase the efficiency of the ICE (internal combustion engine).

The twist in the hybrid car comes in where you can charge your car's batteries at your home or destination simply by plugging in your car to the nearest outlet. With a little tweeking, you can drive around to nearby destinations on pure electric mode. With added battery capacity, you can increase the electric range. If your workplace is in range of your batteries, its possible to have your entire car commute in electric mode. If you need to go out of town, you can drive as far as the batteries will take you then the ICE will come in and propell you the rest of the way (and charge the batteries as well).

I think the current view of hybrid car is gasoline/diesel engine first and electric system helping. The twist is to view the hybrid car as electric car first and ICE system as helping to increase the vehicle's range.

eh kung dagdagan pa nila ng tax incentive yung hybrid cars, di mas lalong konti na lang difference ng hybrid against regular jazz di ba. if im not mistaken meron tax incentive yung hybrid and electric cars sa US. Or maybe the projected price difference factor in the tax incentive already?

talk about plugging your car in the outlet.... subaru's R1e claims 120 km for 5 minutes charge time. its pure electric

[bajumbo]

wow 120km for 5 mins charge time! galing!
