Re: Bad Impression: Hybrid = Green?
I view hybrids in two categories:
-- Real hybrids: At least 20% of the propulsion comes from battery power and the fuel economy is improved by at least 25%.
-- Intelligent Start/Stop: These are vehicles that employ small batteries, have less than 20% of thrust from electric motor, *or* have only a 2-4 MPG gain.
That isn't to say there's no place for ISS vehicles, but to call them Hybrids is a bit of a stretch.
