Let's face it, how many average Americans even know what a Hybrid is or how it works at a high level? It is this ignorance that feeds into the articles written about Hybrids. I cannot tell you how many times I still get asked "So where do you plug it in? Can you go more than 100 miles?"

And I get asked, "Do you find it difficult to find hydrogen fueling stations?"

Ah, well. We still have quite a job to do.

LOL, I almost fell out of my chair laughing at that.

I've been asked a lot of questions about it, but never something like that. For the most part, it's about plug-in as the biggest bad info point, the rest is they just want to know more about it.

With people I know, I always claim it's a magic SUV. I do that here from time to time, as you may have seen in the top hybrid states, with MI not being on there.

Yep, we've all heard some pretty interesting questions - I just simplify it for anyone who asks: It's just a regular car, but it uses less petrol - that's all, no magic. I got tired of having to explain the hybrid function over and over.
