[0:17]" You have this that this ship vehicle to vehicle and electric car with an onboard -- art when you can do is you can charge up a home. And chemical forty mile and pure electric mode and then after that a gasoline engine kicks in at the generator. Keep the vehicle calling as an electric car well today they got the official word from the Environmental Protection Agency that the fuel economy this year fuel economy. Will be 200 miles per gallon felt like a lot and it is.

As they learn as they get economies of scale that price of gold down."

[3:13]" While General Motors has been working on this for a couple of years one of the things with GM is they had a leadership in this area about ten years ago with the EV one in California but the cost them a lot of money so they abandoned that program pretty much gave that leadership to Toyota one Toyota came in with the Prius. And then Toyota got that green Mandel and ducks GM wanted back so that's why about two years ago. They started this year people program to show people that they do have this kind of technologies so. They're hoping to something we will make people think a lot better about all of their vehicles and and they admit that. This should people not gonna be there only vehicle they have to get better fuel economy for the entire fleet and that's what they're capable it's."
