Default Re: 339 HP Lexus GS Hybrid ???

My Ford Escape Hybrid has a kilowatt display. This is easily converted to horsepower ( 746 watts to 1 HP ) IIRC.

For MOST of my city driving, I'm using about 15,000 watts.
This is 20 horsepower.

For flat highway drivng, at speeds of about 65 MPH I need twice this.

Short of dragging redwood trees out of the forest... by the roots....
Why would ANYONE NEED 339 horsepower for daily driving?
WHAT A WASTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only when the general public accepts 50 Horsepower cars as standard will electric driving become feasible.
