• Sommario/riassunto: With growing concerns about energy security and global warming, interest in hybrid vehicles is on the rise due to their advantages in using the existing infrastructure and offering a means to reduce consumer fuel consumption and cost while significantly reducing levels of the pollutants contributing to global warming. However, the average consumer is only willing to pay 1000 to 1500 extra for a hybrid and current costs are approximately three times this amount.
