ZAP Hybrids

Although a lot of companies are in the process of producing and developing plug in hybrids, one company is already selling plug-in hybrids or PHEVs. The difference between regular hybrids and plug in hybrids is that the former run on gasoline only and the latter can actually be charged from a regular power source much like another appliance in the home. The PHEV will allow the owner to charge their vehicle from a normal household wall outlet. By integrating a larger battery pack and a plug-in charging system, it becomes a new vehicle drawing energy from two fuel sources!

This is the reason that a PHEV can give you upto 120 miles per gallons! ZAP is now offering plug-in hybrid conversion systems for the Toyota Prius and Ford Escape Hybrid through a collaboration agreement with Hybrids Plus.
