Wonder why Chevy didn't just buy his technology (looks like he's sponsered by Delphi) and use that instead of their "hybrid" technology? One UCD professor seems to have outperformed GM's best. A diesel hybrid might have even better results.

I would think a smaller turbo diesel would do a much better job with huge increases in economy. It should run at a steady state like a generator if I understand the concept. Very interesting and the truck chassis works great to handle the weight of the batteries. Now put a solar cell on the roof of the house, plug that baby in, and this should send real worries to the middle east.
