Today's automakers are looking for a way to show off their latest hybrid technology. Hybrid vehicles - vehicles with gas and electric engines working together to power an automobile - represent only a little more than 1.5 percent of the total new vehicle marketplace, but many people are looking to hybrids to ease our dependence on oil.
Recently in Madison, Wisconsin, passionate hybrid owners and the people who make hybrids rallied at the first annual Hybridfest. Today's hybrids aren't just for the single person commuting to work. New hybrid models have the same look, feel, and capability as a conventional gas engine powered vehicle and help out the environment with lower emissions.
With fuel prices on the rise, many consumers are looking for any alternative to save at the pump. Hybrids work by storing kinetic energy in their battery that would otherwise be lost in a gasoline-only automobile.

Today, Toyota added a new technology to the pool of its hybrid technologies.
The company has developed the first plug-in hybrid vehicle that has been certified for use on public roads in Japan.
The Toyota Plug-in HV uses, like earlier Toyota hybrid vehicles, both a gasoline-powered internal combustion engine and an electric motor. The vehicle uses two nickel-metal hydride secondary batteries; the current Prius hybrid vehicle uses one such battery.
Increased battery capacity gives the vehicle a longer electric-motor-only cruising range, and a battery-charging device allows users to replenish the batteries using household electricity, enabling the vehicle to run more often in gasoline-free, electric-only mode, on short trips in city driving.
Toyota claims that the new vehicle has a cruising range of 13km and a maximum vehicle speed of 100km/h in electric mode.
Toyota considers plug-in hybrid vehicles as a promising technology for using electricity as a viable power source for automobiles.
The company will conduct public-road tests in Japan using eight Plug-in HV vehicles this fall. It also plans to conduct public-road tests in the US and Europe.
Toyota has yet to announce when to commercialize the Plug-in HV.
