Subject: Re: The new hotness

The first plug-in hybrid was in 2008, so 18 years ago.

The new new hotness, the EREV, is not a hybrid in the conventional sense. A conventional hybrid uses the gas engine and the electric motor to both drive the car. In an EREV, the gas engine does not drive the car at all, The gas engine is only used to charge the battery, just as in the joke meme about the Tesla.

This is the sort of meme I am talking about. A joke then. Now legitimized by big three CEOs.
