Can they claim an "Infinite" rating so they can keep building all the 500 HP Camaros and CTS-Vs and 600 HP Vettes they want?
very true. I've attended several alternative powered vehicle seminars and discussions from both GA Tech and SAE...house charge hybrids are by far the best way to go. Household engery bill is much cheaper to per kw of used energy.
I'm personally a fan of "compound" hybrid diesels for fuel economy and ethanol for the "performance" models.
