Hybrid Technologies Shows 220mpg Supercar

Sports car are just the thing to make hybrid technology go mainstream. As pioneering players in the emerging field, Tesla and Fisker are leading the way, but there is a new kid on the block. North Carolina based, Hybrid Technologies, have announced a lithium-ion powered hybrid supercar that will hopefully achieve a range of 150 to 180 miles for the electric-powered model, and while a lithium-ion gas-electric hybrid will be expected to hit at least 220mpg. That's a staggering range compared to the Fisker Karma that does 50 miles on electric-power alone. As R&D continues Hybrid Technologies will be entered into the Automotive X-Prize with the unnamed vehicle and says that a working prototype will be revealed in September.
