But here's another reason: They are donating about $11 million to fund plug-in hybrid research and technology. Develop a 100+ mile per gallon car and make it reliable? Sweeeet. The amount of traveling I do to Chicago and Indiana make a plug-in hybrid one of the top things I must get in the next year or two.
