Volkswagen is testing a new electric-engine car that it hopes will be available for consumers in about two years.
The electric engine – TwinDrive – can be powered by gasoline to get more miles out of a charge, um, fill up. And this is different from a hybrid how?
So far, the car is good for about 50km (31 miles), about the distance of a fair training ride on a bicycle.
VW has a long way to catch the Japanese car makers in electric engines, no?

Very interesting, but if this car is going to be electric then surely it won’t be using gas??????? As report this development is still another 2 years away so I am guessing that one will have to just wait and see on this car!!
