OPINION - USA - Hybrids constitute an Expensive, Bankrupt Technology
San Francisco,CA,USA -wdzeller on AlterNet -May 23 2005: -- All of this vaunted new hybrid technology will soon be seen as boondoogle just as the Wankel Engine Technology was viewed by the mid 1970's. Unfortunately, this view will not prevail until after hundreds of thousands actually go out and buy these horrid things... How so, one may ask?... Well, for starters, each and every hybrid car requires a highly specialized battery pack. A VERY expensive battery pack, I must mention. Once one has driven their hybrid car for 100,000 miles, the warranty on that battery typically expires and any battery failure replacement costs will come out of the owner's pocket to the tune of no less that $7,000!
