[edit] Order

It might be wise to make a "List of hybrid vehicles by MPG" as well.

This page is by order of production year, not model year. Chinesegary 08:49, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Better by fuel efficiency. --Mac 14:55, 8 January 2007 (UTC)


what is production year as opposed to model year?

  • I think this is how it works: You can buy a 2008 car in 2007, so 2008 would be the model year (what the dealership calls it), but it would actually have been manufactured in 2007 (production year). — Reinyday, 00:18, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Also, see Model year. — Reinyday, 00:21, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] First Hybrid

On this page, it is claimed that Ferdinand Porsche built the first hybrid car. On the AL_(automobile) page, it is claimed that the AL was the first recorded hybrid. They cannot both be first. --Joel.davies 17:44, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

It would appear that the AL article is incorrect, having cited inaccurate reference materials. Multiple sources show that there were even some earlier examples of hybrid cars prior to Porsches... Will have to fix that, thanks for bringing that up. --D0li0 09:49, 15 May 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Two years in a row

If an hybrid automobile is produced 2 or more years in a row is it to be listed in each year of its production in the main article? e.g. should the Toyota Prius be mentioned in each year since it started? Custodiet ipsos custodes talk 18:55, 29 May 2007 (UTC)


No, only each new generation is mentioned. --Ng.j 23:15, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] non production models?

The Toyota Volta was never produced, but was a concept hybrid. No doubt there are others, and will be many more. Should there be section for not-produced hybrid concepts here? --Nemo 05:23, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Table

I prefer a table, so the user can order it following his/her criteria (i.e. country, data of production and so on).

On the other hand, split the table between regular hybrids and plug-in hybrids--Mac (talk) 09:42, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

If one is interested in a hybrid from a practical point of view rather than as an academic exercise this list is of little use. It would be most interesting to have a list showing which models are currently available and in which markets. This probably requires a table. 24.207.48.100 (talk) 17:32, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
