[DMCForum] Re: Plug-in Hybrid.

["therealdmcvegas" <dmcvegas@xxxxxxx>]

The air conditioning system on a hybrid car is driven off of the 
accessory belt in a hybrid car, which is in turn driven by the engine 
itself.

So if you drive a Hybrid vehicle, and run the A/C, the hybrid functions 
of said vehicle are automaticly disabled, and it is moved by the 
engine. Thus, they are not feasable vehicles. You need A/C to cool, and 
to defrost in cold/humid climates. And hybrid engines do not get as 
good gas milage, as their counterparts used in non-hybrid cars. Don't 
know the figures for Toyota, but I have seen on the news where the 
Honda Insight gets worse gas milage than a Civic DX in this senario.

Hybrid cars: Still not the solution to our problems.
