How to Get Infinity MPG: Fisker’s Eco-Chic Karma vs Chevy Volt
uploaded by claybodie
Hey everyone, check out this car I saw at the Detroit Auto show. It's vying to be the first plug-in hybrid on the market. Take a look:
Looking for a sweet ride that can get you infinity miles per gallon? Check out the Eco-Chic Fisker Karma, a luxury sports sedan capable of 50 miles of emissions free-driving on one overnight charge.This sexy-looking sports car, which I stumbled upon at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this week, uses the same kind of technology as the lusted-after Chevy Volt. Both cars use a purely electric drive train for the first 40-50 miles of driving, then switch to a small gasoline engine that recharges the lithium ion battery pack for longer drives. This means that if you drive less than 50 miles per day, you’ll only need to refill the tank once per year.

Thanks claybodie, good post. Anything that reduces our environmental impact is a good idea in my books.
If I may offer a suggestion, consider adding a brief introduction to your post. Let us know why you liked it, even if it's just a sentence or two. Otherwise, good stuff, thanks.

Does anyone know the length of the average North American commute? I bet it's shorter than 25 miles.

claybodie, I like this story. It's good environment news
Google's employee's have the choice to
rent a Google converted Toyota Prius Hybrid
with the same "Laptop" LiIon extension battery
pack in the trunk. If they arrive at work they
recharge for free at Solar PV car park.
So "producing" a 100% clean drive during week.
