5 out of 5 stars This is a must-read for the environmentally conscious   December 21, 2006
 18 out of 20 found this review helpful

This book is deligently researched and compellingly written, full of good history and vivid portraits of the major players. It contains easy-to-understand explanations of complex issues and technology. Sherry Boschert has made the subject a page-turner. For the environmentally and politically conscious, this should be your next book. I'm convinced that a plug-in hybrid should be my next car.

...for anyone interested in plug-hybrids and highly recommended for those who care about petroleum dependency or environmental issues. Boschert's work is diligently researched and entirely up to date on the state of the art of advanced plug-in hybrids. Anyone looking to gather insights into this technology will be richly rewarded by the by the information presented here.

As a long-time solar home-owner in the East Coast of the US, I have been looking for practical information on resolving the other major portion of the energy-dependence equation--transportation. If the newly-elected Democratic Congress is sincerely looking for a way out of the Middle East, this would make for some very hopeful holiday reading. It's the most important book I've read all year.


5 out of 5 stars Good book on the subject   December 7, 2006

This book gives a positive explanation of how and why this automotive "revolution" is happening. It makes a positive case for PHEV's, but it does not get too technical. It has a good set of references in the notes, in case you want check anything for yourself. I enjoyed the book, but I`m a bit biased. I go to things like the Hybridfest and have a CalCars bumper sticker on my car. I'm an electrical engineer and following Plug-in Hybrid vehicle progress is my current passion.
