    My thoughts exactly. So refreshing to see common sense prevailing over fad. And the attention to detail in how the everyday use would affect the operation. The more I watch the more I see down to earth brilliance.

    His story about saving fuel with a smaller generator with a battery bank to meet peak demand, sounds a lot like the philosophy behind the Toyota hybrid.
    The 2.5 litre Atkinson Cycle engine in my Camry is more fuel efficient than an Otto Cycle, but has less torgue at low revs. However in the the Camry and in his generator story, peak power demand is quite adequately met with a boost from the battery.
    That idea has worked well for Toyota for a quarter of a century. I wonder how widespread employment of that combination is.

    Yes and no. Toyota's Synergy does not directly drive the wheels like this truck does. It uses a kind of CVVT transmission to drive the wheels in a conventional fashion, and the petrol engine also drives the wheels that way. The Prius' engine is not a constant rev engine powering a generator. But of course, both are hybrid, which to me makes far more sense than pure EV.

    I haven't driven a recent model Toyota hybrid, but my DIL's 2016 Prius is bloody awful to drive. But she loves it, so what do I know?
