Asking a question like this invites an answer like this:
Like Sysyphus and his rock in Hades, you are condemned to post the same story time and time again for the hubris of only one way to build a home-built hybrid. <GRINS>
Look, I hope the kids sell 'plans' for their car and make a mint. I admire their work but there is more than one way to home-build a hybrid. The essense of home-built is variety and emphasis upon what the builder believes is important.
The kids have announced some pretty impressive performance numbers but I'd be more interested in an independent EPA mileage and Dept. of Transportation evaluation. To claim 0-60 in 4 seconds and 50 mpg is a little too good to be true. Something is missing.
