I'm still dubious about the performance of hybrids (and especially electric) vehicles in Canadian winters.
How good are these batteries and how are they going to perform in -35C weather? I mean, if my car battery has only 60% the cold-cranking amps in the winter compared to the summer, how are the hybrid batteries going to compare? And if a hybrid just uses the IC engine all winter, what's the point?
Oh, and in regards to the comments about the Tahoe hybrid getting 19/22mpg... isn't that a 50% improvement over the regular model? Sure, it's only an extra 7MPG, but the hybrid is only going to be burning 66% of the gas compared to the regular model.
