Tax Credits for Plug-In Hybrids?

Bush plugs in: Outside the White House, President Bush listens as David Vieau, CEO of A123 Systems, describes the features of a plug-in hybrid, which is powered by either an electric motor or a gasoline engine. This converted Toyota Prius includes a battery pack made by A123 that extends the amount of time the car can run on electricity, saving gasoline. The pack fits into the car?s spare-tire compartment and can be recharged by being plugged into an outlet. The extension cord is attached to the vehicle?s rear bumper (bottom left).
