HSD vs. IMA
mild hybrid vs full hybrid
In a decade of two we are probably all going to talk about how obsolete our hybrids are. Even now, Toyota is coping with the unique problems of a hybrid pickup (ultra-low gear to avoid electric motor burnout?). Hybrids are not a mature technology.
What really matters most is:
- How much farther your vehicle can go on a gallon of gas?
- Does it meet your needs?
- Does it save you money?
- How clean is it?
- How can we encourage more people to value these priorities (economy, ecology, conservation)?
This probably sums up all the discussions at Greenhybrid.
