Plug-In Hybrids to Remain Rare Despite Amazing Mileage, says ABI Research : new link — OYSTER BAY, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Aug. 30, 2005–Though it would probably void the warranty, owners have been known to modify their hybrid vehicles to run longer solely on electric power and to charge their batteries from electric mains (thus the name, “plug-in hybrid”). If they recharge frequently enough, it is possible to use the gasoline engine in the vehicle only rarely, literally allowing for hundred of miles per gallon. So why aren’t automakers offering this as a factory option?
