On Thursday, the AFS
Trinity Power Co., a private corporation that develops energy storage technologies, announced it has filed a patent for
a plug-in hybrid capable of traveling more than 250 miles on a gallon of gasoline or ethanol. After being charged
overnight on regular house current the Extreme Hybrid can travel up to 40 miles on battery power alone before switching
to standard gasoline/ethanol and battery.
AFS Trinity will be partnering with Ricardo, a major automotive
design and engineering company, which will develop the XH’s drivetrain. A similar plug-in hybrid, the Prius
Amberjac, can be found over at AutoblogGreen.
