DID YOU HEAR THE NEWS?? (Battery Powered Bug)

It looks like Volkswagen and Sanyo have joined forces to work on an efficient lithium-ion battery to go into the next generation of hybrids for Volkswagen.

As companies clamor over each other to perfect hybrids and eventually more all-electric vehicles the race is on to develop the best and brightest combination with balance between performance, safety, and cost.

Car companies are scrambling to create more efficient combustion engines and to develop technologies to capture some of the energy created while we drive then turn around and use the energy to extend mileage.

Aiming towards a 2010 date before we start seeing these products from Volkswagen, what other companies will be into the fray by then? Daimler, BMW and others have all mentioned doing similar projects while the Chevy Volt has been all over the news. I think the next year or two will see a virtual explosion of vehicles that are highly efficient hybrids or all-electric. What are your thoughts? Battery powered Bug anyone?
