Default Hybrid Cars

And the Tzero equipped with Lithium Ion (not the most up to date yet)
scored very well in a green car competition...260 mile range at least

Also an effective 153mpg, though the way this is calculated seems weird.
And does not take into acount charge, transmisson or generating
inefficiemnces I think.

Now you can say what you like, but evcen allowing for exagerration by te
makers, this is impressive.

Ypu can say again, all you like that this vehickle won;t do as much range
as an airbus, carry as much load as the queen mary, or cost as little as a
bicycle, but the fact remains that the vast majoriry of domestic car
journeys would be utterly seved by a car that you charge overnight, and
drive around by day up to 200 miles.

Not a sports car like this - more of a sort of small to medium people
carrier type shape. A town car in fact.
