all the complexities of a modern internal cumbustion engine, in addition to the complexities of an electrical generator/motor/flywheel system that are supposed to work together seemlessly. uh, no thanks.



what happens when your hybrid breaks down in the middle of nowhere, and gets towed to the local garage?
