Though current hybrid car tax incentives/rebates are being
phased out, consumers can look forward to rebates of up to $5000
in 2005.
Current hybrid cars can get up to 60 miles to the gallon on
the highway. In addition to fuel economy, they boast lower emissions
and depreciation than gasoline powered cars.
In the near future, hybrid cars are expected to get fuel mileage
as high as 190 miles per gallon!
Environmentalists embrace hybrid cars as a solution to today's
pollution problems.
Heavy HEV development began in the early 1990's with major
manufacturers donating billions of dollars to the research of
new hybrid technologies.
