Re: PHEV plug-in hybrids
Hello, My family is happy to own the first privately owned PHEV in Texas. I have been buying parts for the conversion since November 2006 and now it is done. This is an open source project so if you want more information on how to do it yourself read about this not-for-profit company Calcars.org.
We purchase wind energy from our electric provider to charge our PHEV, so we are offsetting our fuel usage with wind and not coal. One day I hope to use solar from the roof of my home to power our car.
This is not a one size fits all solution but it is a start. I can use my car as a full electric vehicle for shopping and errands during the weekend.
