I’ll probably drive a Honda Civic Hybrid in Holland. The government here has advanced plans to change the taxes for hybrid cars for next year. TO drive lease cars here, you need to add 28% of the catalogue value to your income and then apply taxes. For hybrid cars, this may change to 14% of catalogue value, so about half.

There are plenty of benefits: – standard these cars have all luxury, very silent on the road due to the electricity, high torque in the lower regions (electricity motors have very high torque when not moving), 4.6 l / 100km, same leaseprice as a Renault Clio but a lot more car.

Disadvantage is space and the bench in the back cannot be lowered due to the battery pack.

nao disse que o carro e uma *solucao final*. nao e. os eua e outros paises vao ter que resolver suas termo-eletricas tambem. uma parte da energia destes carros vai ser de origem *nuclear*, que ambientalistas varios agora preferem em lugar de hidro-eletricas, por exemplo. enquanto estivermos no planeta, energia sera centro de um permanente debate. o que nao vai dar pra continuar fazendo e usar petroleo e biocomustiveis pra rodar por ai…
