What's awesome about this is when you drive a hybrid. All your power comes from gas or regenerative braking, but it's so efficient that it's still painful to the average Republican

There's no 'or', really. That kinetic energy you're capturing with regen braking, you got that by burning gas. All your energy comes from burning gas.

Unless it has a plug, it's a gas car.

And if it's a plugin hybrid, it's the worst of both worlds.

They really aren't. I have a couple friends with them and they can go months without buying gas.

People don't realize how thirsty plugins are. 30kWh/100km and upwards are quite common.
