If that,s real, big oil will make shure this thing will never see light of the day, you can bet your house on it. Look at the hybrid cars scam, it takes very little to upgrade a hybrid car to a PHEV (plug in hybrid)

True; however, the government is against plug ins because electrical generation capacity. Californika can't produce enough electricity for air conditioners which cost LIVES, you think the government want dead old people in hot houses while people are plugging in their cars?

(PHEV)which is basically an electric car with combustion engine back-up, yet no car manufacturer dares to produce one (you can buy a conversion kit though making your hybrid into a PHEV).

A little off basis. Current Hybrid are parallel systems in which the gas and electric work in unison. Series system like the Chevy Volt are as how you describe. The problem is battery technology. Lithium Ion batteries are still in development for large size motors. No car manufacturer dares to produce a PHEV cause they all are all in bed with oil companies.

Wrong, GM has said that its electric platform is the future of the company.

California can not produce enough power cause their environazi agenda crippled them for years, to bad for them, it does not mean the rest of the union has to follow those socialists losers. We can produce enough electricity (clean coal and clean nuclear) to power electric cars, if not why the excuses about "not enough battery capacity" to power practical electric car?

Secondly I am not " a little off basic" do your homework before you get into details of PHEV.

They are two systems now (Honda and Toyota), Honda has gas and electric working in unison, Toyota has a system where a hybrid is powered by electric motor only, up to 40 mph.

It only takes to add another pack of batteries to make it an electric car with gasoline back up capable of driving about 40 miles on purely electric power, thats what average American drives in 1 day around a town.
There is an American company producing kits for Toyota Prious and other hybrids which make it possible.

The kit is expensive, but the price would come down if the car manufacturers got to it, they just DON'T WANT TO, CAUSE THEY ARE IN BED WITH OIL COMPANIES. This is not a fantasy google PHEV and find it yourself.

Most of the public falls for the government, car and oil companies propaganda, being fed with utopia of biofuels, hydrogen cells and similar promises which are pure bs.

As far as GM they are will go bankrupt 3 times before they develop anything useful unless Governement bails them out.
