While slowly taking over the information highway, Google is using it's resources to accelerate the learning curve for viable plug-in hybrids.
Google won't build and sell hybrid cars but will focus "on accelerating their development through research, testing and investment," says Dan Reicher of Google.org, Google's philanthropic arm.
The company has pledged $11 million. The U.S. government plans to spend $28 million on plug-in component research in fiscal 2008, he says.
