What are Calcars goals?
Our initial goal is to build awareness that PHEVs represent the fullest, strongest form of popular hybrid technology, and to persuade and incentivize auto makers to build plug-in hybrid cars. We’re getting the word out to many people who are now hearing about PHEVs for the first time. With our partners, we’re creating actual vehicles, prompting increasing number of important organizations and individuals to voice their support, and helping to build demand among individual and fleet car buyers. Longer term, we are looking ahead to flex-fuel, then cellulose-ethanol PHEVs, then to adding other advances, including lightweighting and other optimizing methods. We aim to see all these technologies become part of the standard automotive platform for future vehicles. And we have even more ambitious plans to use the citizen-buyer demand model of Calcars to address other global warming strategies.
