Casey,

You may find the work of Johnathan Goodwin interesting. He's working on
an electric car for Neil Young. He has also improved fuel economy. He
has taken a Hummer from 300 horsepower at 8-12 mpg to 600 horsepower at
27 mpg.

Also worth notong, Toyota plans on releasing a plug-in Prius in 2010.
