Technology Advancing With Plug-In Hybrids
Just got back from Seattle to visit the attorney via trucking and thought it was time to post again: Plug-in hybrids are different from the hybrids we’re seeing all over the roads today, like the ubiquitous Prius. They both run on gasoline and electric engines, but the plug-in can be plugged into an outlet in your garage overnight and recharge itself. It has larger, more powerful packs of batteries. One of the problems has been that these batteries are very expensive, running into the thousands of dollars, and they need to be replaced from time to time like any battery. But now, the technology is advancing, and the price is coming down. They will still be expensive, but many more people will find them accessible. Just hope the car is not a lemon otherwise you need to take action. Speaking of that, if you are in Missouri or St. Louis and require a tip top Seattle DUI attorney then I must recommend this firm, they are very respected and can also do auto, car plus various personal injury related cases in addition to the DUI attorney stuff in Seattle. then check this guy out. In my humble opinion he is one of the better lemon law attorney in all of the greater Los Angeles area in general. General Motors is expecting to have the much anticipated Chevy Volt plug-in model available by 2010, and Volvo expects to have one by 2012, and so do Hyundai, and Toyota. General Motors plans to follow the plug-in Volt up with a plug-in Sports Utility vehicle in 2011. Toyota is gearing up to produce as many as 30,000 plug-in hybrids in 2012.
Hyundai has a new technology with a directly injected 1.6 liter gas engine with a CVT transmission, and a 100 kilowatt electric motor. These are getting popular here in Seattle as well. The Blue-Will will be a four-door sports car that will sport a panoramic roof equipped with solar cells that are transparent. The car will be built with eco-friendly plastics throughout. The headlamp bezels will be made from recycled plastic bottles. Other plastics incorporated in the car will be made from plant extracts. The Blue-Will will get up to 55 miles per hour in the hybrid-electric mode and will cover 38 miles in the electric mode only. The Blue-Will should be a Greener and cleaner car with a very jazzy and futuristic look. This will also be a safer car if aDUI driver runs into you.
