I would have absolutely no problems buying and owning a hybrid vehicle if the govt offset the high cost or the technology came down in price to normal petrol versions prices.
The amount of torque produced by some electric motors is staggering, years ago i was wondering when there would be a drag racing class for them, i dont know how spectators would warm to silent vehicles though.
My son just registered and started a business centering around carbon fibre auto products, hes in the middle of ordering his second container in of lightweight carbon parts.
Unfortunately ADR's dont allow carbon fiber panels to be used on current models as a conversion, they dont meet crash test specifications as they only provide strength in the direction they are designed for, but they are very popular for weight saving on race cars, i think on his following container he is bringing in the whole rear of a EVO which is from the rear doors back and only will weigh a few Kg.
