Your little turbo diesel that gets 50mpg would probably be getting 70mpg if it had a hybrid system implemented.
The amount of energy thrown away when breaking is no joke. Having gobs of torque available from an electric motor will turn out to be very fun when used in the new generation sports cars.
Don’t call a technology a joke just because you don’t understand it.
I bench 250 but, not sure what that has to do with it???

Actually, I do understand technology quite well.
- Perhaps you can enlighten me on how hybrid helps with highway driving?
- How about battery disposal?
- How about brake feel / linearity on regenerative systems?
- Impact of the extra weight on active safety systems?
The technology today is a joke, used by people who like to feel like they are saving the environment....
I am actually an environmentalist but I hate when car companies sell snake oil and I hate the snake oil users! Like the self-absorb folk who drive the speed limit (by themselves in the commuter lanes). I don't hate the technology per se but the users are kinda wierd.
