Chevy Volt :(

Oh and about the volt being cutting edge technology, trains have been running on the diesel-electric idea since about 1940 or earlier. All GM did was to downsize the idea and package it in a poorly designed car.

Uh, I have NEWS. Hybrids were out BEFORE 1920

These are out of an old Dykes motor manual, and boy would I love to have a couple more issues of them!!

The Woods gas-electric car:

and even more strange was the Owen-Entz electric transmission, which had a generator armature and the driving motor armature on the same shaft. The FIELD coils of the thing was attached to the flywheel, and rotated around the OUTSIDE of the generator armature
