Here's a new car out on the market from Hybrid Technologies:

The company's co-founder, Richard Griffiths, pointed out to The Early Show co-anchor Rene Syler Tuesday that that's the same type of battery you'll find in cell phones, PDAs, computers, "pretty much anything we use now that's a portable electronic device."

Mr. Griffiths goes on to remark:

"If you completely drain the battery," Griffiths said to Syler, "it's like your cell phone, if you drain the battery, a full charge is five to six hours. Normally, people won't drain the entire battery, so maybe one to two hours at night. Basically, it's like, 'Honey, did you take out the garbage and plug in the car?' It's kind of a new way of thinking. It's a plug-in hybrid. It uses absolutely no gas.

"On a single charge, you can go up to 120 miles and, depending how you drive, 150 miles."

Here's to quiet taxis in New York City! Nothing but the hum of rubber on asphalt - wouldn't that be swell?

This is the kind of advanced technology we need. I think Mr. Griffiths is a wondeful spokesman of this industry and he with the right support will make the big guys run for the hills.

Let's keep up the faith!

Thanks, John...
