The article basically says that a new generation of super hybrids are coming. These will be electric motor powered by plug in and with a gas generator for long range and towing. Ram and Ford are going to make these available late this year for trucks. The advantage is that the vehicle can run on electric for short around town commuting and still fill up a tank with gas for generating lots of power on the road. The gas engine runs only at its most efficient RPM, while the electric motor provides more torque and power than a gas engine could. Personally I have my doubts that either company is capable of making this tech safe and reliable, given what both have produced to date. Ram’s e-torque system has been problematic at best, and Ford’s electric vehicles have not exactly been models of reliability either. And they still carry dangerous lithium ion batteries, which I refuse to park inside or next to my house. If you show up at my home with an electric or hybrid, you park on the street.
