Raser Technologies working on 100mpg Hummer H2 plug-in hybrid

Don't think this will ever change our perception... what about serious weight reduction and better cabin space add aerodynamics to gain the best electric/fuel efficiency.
Sure the application is going to be used for large vehicles/SUV/trucks, but the Hummer's not best candidate.
Seriously this vehicle was only built for posers.

If this technology was on a car it would be around 150 mpg. But since they're using something large, the roof on this is very big which might enable to have solar panels on the roof just to help with the recharging along the way.

Gazzed, actually, this vehicle was not built for posers. No Hummers even come in 2WD which is the version of off road vehicles that are built specifically for poseurs. I guess if Hummer had built a 2WD version like Toyota and Jeep do it would be the real deal? See the inconsistency here?

Ever notice the idiocy of our society? ".... most demonized vehicle brands of the decade, with both poor sales figures and a terrible environmental reputation .." Wouldn't something have to have good sales figures to have a big environmental impact? I mean lots of vehicles get the same MPG has an H2 but outsell it hugely yet escape any ridicule. Seems like pounding on the H2 is least reward for your efforts but that's just me.

Well, at least this technology will be transferable across the GM line of full size trucks. The H2 has a unique chassis for the most part (no it is not a dressed up Tahoe, look under each and see for yourself) but the powertrain mounts (and powertrain) are shared.

Body-on-frame vehicles make for easier integrations like this. And, if you can afford an H2, you can probably afford to buy the upgrade or least buy enough of them to drive the cost down for the rest of us.

I'm sure there are more reasons behind the scenes of which we are unaware.

Either way, good innovation. If vehicles like this are no longer produced, then people will be all the more likely to hold on to the ones they have so upgrades are a good approach to cleaning them up so to speak.

SUVs and trucks are the number one selling vehicle in America. Unlike the Volt and other hybrid cars we didn’t have to build an entire car around the battery packs. There was plenty of room in the back of the Hummer to install them, and they don’t affect the ground clearance of the vehicle.
