Over the last five years, various automotive manufacturers have gone into overdrive with their hybrids and EVs. This is due to many reasons, with people wanting to limit the emissions from their vehicles or saving money on fuel costs. When it comes to hybrids, people can get the best of both worlds with excellent fuel economy with the help of a battery while still housing a gasoline-powered engine to give that extra grit. There's one characteristic that most hybrids share, and that's reliability. While there are hundreds of different SUV hybrid configurations around the world, one here in America has the highest reliability among its American cousins.

Triumph Could Have Two New 400s Coming, May Be Here By The End Of The Year

Despite a parade of electric vehicles that can travel more than 300 miles on a charge, range anxiety remains a major hurdle to widespread adoption particularly in the US. There is, however, a “no-duh” antidote to allay fears of being stranded mid-trip: put a charger on the car. While traditional hybrid vehicles use gas to turn the wheels, a new crop of cars are burning it exclusively to charge a large onboard battery. It’s a strategy one might expect from an 8-year-old’s brainstorm, and it’s not a particularly efficient solution or a cheap one. But in an age of janky charging infrastructure and fraught, polarizing politics, electric motors juiced by an onboard, gas-sipping generator could be a killer EV app.
