FYI...
Word has it that Toyota will unveil 2 plug-in hybrid prototypes at the Tokyo Auto Show soon. That will mean that GM, Volvo, VW, and Toyota all will have unveiled plug-in hybrid concept cars this year, and Ford has said it will test some plug-in hybrid Escape conversions. *Emissions update:* I've updated my overview of all the studies that I could find on well-to-wheels emissions that compare plug-in hybrids or electric vehicles with gas cars, hybrids, or hydrogen fuel-cell cars. There now are more than 40 studies analyses showing that plugging in is cleaner. See http://www.sherryboschert.com/Downloads/Emissions%5B11%5D.pdf *Appearances:* I'll be talking, showing slides, and signing books at the following events. Please spread the word. Hope to see some of you there!
