I did a lot of research into hybrid technologies while working at GE's Global Research Center. They have potential in applications that involve lots of starts and stops, such as delivery vans. But I always laugh when I see a granola-muncher driving a Prius at 60mph on the freeway. All they are doing is hauling 400lbs of batteries around with an undersized gasoline engine.
Check out this Times of London review of the Honda Insight by Jeremy Clarkson of the BBC's Top Gear. Funny stuff.
