[PSUBS-MAILIST] Do hybrid cars have any potential as power?

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

 Hi Michael, possibly not! It may be an over-kill adapting a car system, with its regenerative breaking & lithium batteries etc, when a more simple system would work. I am watching the development of new technology batteries for the EV market though. Would be nice to have some batteries with a range 4 x that of existing lithium batteries. Alan

   It seems a reasonable starting point, especially if there's a diesel version.
 
 I found the British canal boats can have electric motors -- sometimes two of them -- but they don't use batteries (or so it seems from the advertisement in a canal magazine).
