The Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle List is Growing

Slowly, but surely. While Chevrolet's Volt and Toyota's Prius version may be ones that you've already heard about, there's a newcomer to the list: the sporty Fisker Karma, a four-door sedan that offers a 50-mile zero-emissions range on its lithium-ion batteries. We expect this list to continue growing as we get into 2009-10, so if you're thinking of getting a new car in the next couple, be sure to check back often to see what the choices are. And in the meantime, dally over and get the scoop on how exactly a plug-in hybrid works.

Are there any up-and-coming vehicles that we've missed on this list of plug-in hybrids?
