 In the 1930s, National City Lines, bought a partnership of General Motors, Firestone, and Standard Oil of California, many electric tram networks across the country to dissolve around them and replace them with GM buses. The partnership was convicted of conspiracy to monopolize the sale of equipment and supplies for their Subsidiaries of the conspiracy, but were acquitted in a conspiracy to monopolize the provision of transportation services. Electric tram line technologies could be used to BEVS and recharge PHEVs on the highway while the user drives and provides virtually unrestricted driving range. The technology is old and established (see: Conduit current collection, nickel-iron battery). The infrastructure was not built.

 The first gasoline-electric hybrid car was developed by the Woods Motor Vehicle Company in Chicago, published in 1917. The hybrid was a commercial flop, turn out to be slow for its price, and difficult to maintain. The hybrid-electric vehicle would not benefit until the release of the Toyota Prius in Japan in 1997 followed by the Honda Insight in 1999. While initially perceived as unnecessary because of the low cost of gasoline, caused by rising prices worldwide for crude oil hybrids, many automakers in the late 2000s release, they are now regarded as one of the most important segment of the automotive market in the future. Produced Worldwide sales of Toyota hybrid vehicles reached 1.7 million vehicles in January 2009. The second generation of the Honda Insight was the best-selling vehicle in Japan in April 2009, marking the first time, HEV, that the distinction has received. U.S. automakers have made the development of hybrid cars are a top priority.
 In July 2009, the U.S. consumer finance Tesla Roadster announced by Bank of America. The funding is for up to 75 percent of the total purchase price of vehicle. A client approved for a 5-year term financing on a basic roadster could put down as little as U.S. $ 20,000 before taxes and after deduction of U.S. tax credit. The monthly payment would be about $ 1700 at 5 percent annual percentage rate (APR). The monthly payment is typical for high-performance, even if the Roadster in approximately $ 4 cost of fuel supply and does not require regular oil changes or exhaust system to work. Unlike combustion engines, Tesla received a 100 percent waiver of sales, luxury and use taxes in at least four states, and they qualify for S-Bahn privileges, free parking and charges in many regions.
 Although Fisker Automotive has solid statistics regarding fuel economy Karma release, the company estimates the average driver's fuel tank is only a year, provided they are not driving no more than 50 miles (fill 80 km) per day. Fisker Automotive also that when in "Sport-hybrid" mode, the Karma is of 100 miles per U.S. gallon (2.4 l/100 km) for fuel for a range of 300 miles (480 km) may be consumed proposed .

 In January 2007, GM introduced the Chevrolet Volt, which is expected to begin a plug-in function can, battery-dominant series hybrid architecture, which they call E-Flex. Future E-Flex plug-in hybrid vehicles can use gasoline, diesel or hydrogen fuel cell power to supplement the battery of the vehicle. General Motors provides for eventual progression of the E-Flex vehicles from plug-in hybrids to pure electric vehicles, such as battery technology improves. General Motors, the Volt as a PHEV-40 presents that the engine is started when 40% of the battery charge remains, and can achieve a fuel economy of 50 mpg-US (4.7 L/100 km, 60 mpg IMP), also If the vehicle batteries are not charged.
 GM expects that ten years from the life of the batteries. Since early 2008 they had launched extensive battery testing and planned to have 10-year battery results in two years. Batteries were placed on the Chevrolet Malibu for further examination of the real world. In April 2008, GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz said that the first battery-run test mule, now with a lithium-ion battery. Until confirmed for this summer, GM, that a non-turbo, 1.4 liter 4-cylinder engine would be used as a range extender and that the intention is to build it in Flint, Michigan. A photovoltaic solar roof will allow owners trickle charge the battery by leaving the vehicle in the sun, will be offered as optional equipment. Andrew Farah, the car is chief engineer, says that the project say, remains standing on the track, the deadline to 2010, made "at this point, there is nothing in the way keep doing what we said we do.
