Not to worry a LOT of Hybrids and electrics are coming from Detroit's Big 3.
If I remember these cars from Big 3 are:
Ford Escape Hybrid
Ford Fusion Hybrid
Chrysler Aspen Hybrid
Dodge Durango Hybrid
Chevy Silverado Hybrid truck
Chevy Tahoe Hybrid
Cadillac Escalade Hybrid
Chevy Malibu Hybrid
Saturn AURA Hybrid
Mercury Mariner Hybrid
Mercury Milan Hybrid
GMC Sierra Hybrid truck
GMC Yukon Hybrid
Chevy Volt
Saturn VUE Hybrid
If I had to pick one of these, I'd take the Chevy VOLT cause I can plug it in to the electric grid when im in town.
Detroit's Big 3 has MORE hybrids than Toyota, Nissan or Honda. Even the Big 3 has more E85 (85% ethanol alcohol and 15% regular gas mix) capable vehicles than the Japanese do. American inguneity may not be perfect, but hell it works!
Detroit is ALSO working on fuel cell cars. They're getting caught up to the Germans and the Japanese with that technology.
Does GM really owns some of these companies? i.e. Ford owns a Saturn company.
I would hate to think of buying an electric car from China someday. I hope that the Germans and the Japanese would sell their advanced technology cars for less price in our country instead of perhaps 5 to 10 times the cost of the price. Probably, some rich people can afford it quickly.
