I agree. If someone could get these to market cheap enough (say 1-2k complete) , we could have tens of thousands of "mild" hybrids on the road in no time. Lets face it, 20K for a prius is just not an option for a lot of people. If an e-wheel system was affordable I think many would consider it. Even a 20-40 mile range on the highway would make a huge impact on fuel comsumption imo.
