AFT Trinty Power Corp has produced a hybrid SUV that out performs
comparable gasoline SUVs in all models.

The XH-150 runs up tp 87 mph and up to 40 miles on a single charge.

If your commute is less than 40 miles a day, most days you would not
use any gasoline.

The AFS Trinity is not much different in concept than the Chevy Volt
or any other PHEV (plug-in hybid electric vehicle) scheme. The all-
electric range is the sticking point in getting more average MPG. The
combination of supercapacitor and battery pack puts a twist on it, and
is likely to be followed by several manufacturers.

I posted elsewhere on the "all-electric" battery vehicle with
swappable batteries proposed in Israel, Denmark and other places.

what do you think this means ...for the future of traditional all-
gasoline powered vehicles and by implication.. taxes paid per gallon
on fuel?- Hide quoted text -

Revenues are stagnant now becaused of fixed rather than indexed per
gallon taxes in most jurisdictions. Declining revenues based on
petroleum are likely in any case. The speed of the descent will be
controlled by many factors, including affordability and acceptance of
hybrid or alt fuel vehicles, improvements in fleet MPG,
etc.
Hydrogen and ethanol can be taxed at the pump as is now. Electricity
is a more slippery bugger. Battery swaps or high energy recharges can
be taxed. Home recharges, not so easy except as part of the usual
utility taxes, which aren't currently recaptured by most state or
federal road funds. Mileage based schemes can work but there is some
opposition to the concept based on privacy concerns.

hydrogen and ethanol are non-answers. it cost almost as much or more
in energy to extract either as it does just to use the fuel used to
extract hydrogen and ethanol.

but I digress...

I agree about the indexing... $4-5 gas taxed as a percentage of the
sale AND indexed.. would revive the solvency of that tax... IMHO

The GPS mileage scheme with respect to privacy is a cow out of the
barn but it takes the public a long time to figure it out.

when cars were required to have license plates - the privacy issue was
lost.
It did take 50 years for the technology to catch up - license plate
recognition..

so if they can track you with license plates ..isn't the GPS privacy
issue OBE?
