A Hybrid LS???

[jrockcentral1]

I just saw this for the first time on Ebay and am quite perplexed. I was not aware that there were kits to convert your regular, gas-guzzling car to all electric, eco-friendly one. Not that I would EVER think of doing this to the LS, I was just curious as to how this works, and would it even be worth the $2500?

haha, the funny part is, they aren't selling the 2000 batteries you need to complete that

Well, there goes your spare tire, trunk space and back seat for all the batteries!

Smells like a scam to me!!

Only a 15KW motor? That's like 20 horsepower!

There is no way that "kit" will covert a gas powered car to all electricity.

A side note: A program "Future Cars" was just on Discovery or one of those channels recenty. They had an all electric sports car that created all of its torque instantely, went 0-60 in like three seconds and was able to punch off Ferrari/Porsche type numbers. Impressive.

I saw that, those were some pretty nice looking hybrid sports cars too. The numbers were very impressive.

It includes a 15 kW motor. Sounds like a lot. But once you realise that 1 HP ~= 750 W (0.75 kW), you can see that it is a ~ 20 HP motor. Would you trade 280 HP for 20 HP?
