Finding The Best Hybrid Mix
E-wheel for any vehicle

The good

The Insight is a great car, but like all production cars, cost had to be contained, so some comprimises were made.
Lets start with the good stuff.
1. Light weight but strong aluminum and plastic construction.
2. Areodynamic shape
3. Advanced gas engine
4. Simple hybrid drive
5. a suprising amount of room for a 2 seater
6. 60-75 MPG for normal highway speeds


Mikes Insight:

The bad
MIMA the enabler
Need more juice for more MPG
Need heavier springs to carry the extra battery weight
