A politically polarized America is coming together over a new kind of car?the plug-in hybrid that will save drivers money, reduce pollution, and increase US security by reducing dependence on imported oil.
 
Plug-in Hybrids points out that, where hydrogen fuel-cell cars won?t be ready for decades, the technology for plug-in hybrids exists today. Unlike conventional hybrid cars that can?t run without gasoline, plug-in hybrids use gasoline or cheaper, cleaner, domestic electricity?or both. Although plug-in hybrids are not yet for sale, demand for them is widespread, coming from characters across the political spectrum, such as:
 
? Chelsea Sexton, the automotive insider: working for General Motors, Sexton fought attempts to destroy the all-electric EV1 car and describes how car companies are resisting plug-in hybrids?and why they?ll make them -anyway.
? Felix Kramer and the tech squad: Kramer started a nonprofit organization using the Internet to tap into a small army of engineers who built the first plug-in Prius hybrids.
? R. James Woolsey, former CIA director and national security hawk: seeing the end of oil supplies looming, Woolsey is demanding plug-in hybrids to wean us from petroleum.
 
Cautioning that the oil and auto companies know how to undermine the success of plug-in car programs to protect their interests, the book gives readers tools to ensure that plug-in hybrids get to market?and stay here.
