Hybrids go mainstream
Quote:
Mark Johnson walks toward two white Honda Accords sitting side by side on the dealer's lot at Holmes Honda. He heads to the car on the right to demonstrate its hybrid technology and suddenly stops.
Oops. Wrong car.
"The only way you could tell it's a hybrid is the badge on the back," he said, turning to the identical car on the left and pointing to the designation on the trunk.
Gas electric hybrids have come a long way from the unconventional designs of just five years ago. Contrary to popular belief, they don't have to be plugged in to recharge. And aside from battery pack replacement every 100,000 miles or so, they are serviced like traditional vehicles.
