I just returned to L.A> and thought I would get writing again: Volvo is building a plug-in front wheel drive diesel engine with rear-drive electric motor that will have an 11.3 KWH battery pack. Although the demonstration model, the Volvo V-70, has very expensive batteries ($10,000 lithium ion battery pack), Volvo expects to be able to bring the cost down. It also has some very nice furniture as well a great power source, by the way.
Toyota, the out-front leader with its successful non-plug-in hybrid, Prius, has been evaluating all the various plug-in systems, and as of now, plans to begin mass production of its plug-in hybrid in 2012. It has been said that this model will go for up to 18 miles on only battery power, and the price will be in the upper $40,000 range. I just hope it is not a lemon otherwise you might need a knowledgeable guy for that. Changing gears for a momment, if you need a qualified Furniture Source then take a look at this particular site. All in all, they are a great re source (no pun intended) for furniture overall and can help a great deal. and that could a pain. I should know, I had to go out and find a lemon law lawer last year, but not in Los Angeles as it turns out. It is a long story but maybe I will write more at length about it later on.
Since the Obama Administration came into office, incentives have been implemented to promote plug-in hybrid technology and production. President Obama was quoted during campaigning as saying that he wanted to see a million plug-in hybrids on the road in the next five or six years. It’s a long shot, but cars sitting charging themselves up in our garages will soon become a reality for more and more Americans, along with new ergonomic furniture..
