An MP3 of an interview with Dave Cloud, all about the Dolphin, on EV World:

Please note, dcb that Dave Cloud seems to agree with you on the superiority of a simple direct drive parallel hybrid. However, he seems to be basing this on the Chevy Volt, which is a lousy implementation serial hybrid. I think we need to get some hard numbers from the FVT eVaro and compare.
