GM to Go All Electric/Hydrogen

My gosh, how did the Midwest farm lobby let that get through?

Probably traded for some other pork

In Motortrend the other day, I read that Toyota is working on hybrid powertrains for their trucks, with the Tacoma probably the first model to get one. I would be interested in something like that if it was a powertrain like the Volt.

That would be cool. Or a Wrangler with the same set up. A smaller battery could be used and rely on an efficient engine to run the generator.

Wrangler is Jeep though?

You'd probably want a larger battery though than a Volt to provide for the power needs torque wise when towing stuff.

Stupidly, the one hybrid truck produced to date disabled the hybrid systems completely when in towing mode.  Meaning that the electric motors weren't helping get the load started.
