Re: Toyota plug-in
I saw that on the news this morning. It's encouraging. I'm thinking that if I keep my TCH for at least 8 years (I've never had a car more than 2) that there should definitely be something out and fully tested by then. I'm still interested to see\hear how effectively they will function is a cold and snowy climate.

Hell this is only my second car, I drove my last one till it died (12 years), and this car is far better. I figure it should definitely last until the technology and manufacturing are at a point where there's another major step beyond what these current hybrids can do. And I'll love driving my TCH until that time. But all the hype lately sounds like they want us to believe there will be major steps forward in the next 2-5 years so hopefully it'll really happen.

Well I think since enough people are hurting in the wallet and are making noise that more of a concentrated effort is being made. I love my TCH too and with my track record I surprise everyone that knows me when I say that I am going to try and keep mine for at least 8 years.

My bet is on Toyota too! So they are saying 2010 so would that be next years version? They just came out with the 2009 a few months ago. It could be closer than we think!
I must admit I have not look for this but I was wonder if some company is offering the hardware to make a Plug in TCH? They have this for the Prius.

My bet is on Toyota all the way. I also don't think the volt will be ready by 2012. Can't wait to see how successful the Lithium Ion battery will be. If it isn't, there will be something else. The demand is there.

The new packs should be smaller not bigger right?
