Part one of interview with UC Davis professor on merits of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.

...As for added cost, he tells EV World that according to his estimates, a plug-in hybrid system would add only 10-15% to the total price of the car, comparable to the cost of adding leather seats and a sun roof. This is due, in part, to the use of newer, more powerful and cheaper Phase III NiMH batteries built to custom specifications for the UC Davis team by Ovonics. He estimates these new batteries will last 150,000 miles because of the university's battery management system. evworld.com

Del, the NV project is solar thermal from Duke Solar, not affiliated with Duke Energy BTW, and they use solar troughs
that rotate with the sun's transit to concentrate the heat
towards a liquid-filled tube that then is used to drive a turbine that generates electricity. Duke will be building a hybrid solar thermal/natural gas turbine plant in Nevada to give power regardless of weather conditions.
