150 MPG SUV: XH-150

You have read correctly. This XH-150 is supposed to be a 150 MPG SUV. Clearly something worthy of funny t-shirts as you have to be thinking that this is a joke at this point, but it isn't.

Reporters and editors in Philadelphia are invited to drive the XH-150 150 mpg SUV at Penn Treaty Park along the river on Delaware Avenue at E. Columbia Ave. This will be April 15th. Tax Day.

The XH-150 uses batteries, ultracaps and proprietary power and control electronics to enable an electric-only mode to drive more than 40 miles on a single overnight household charge, can achieve highway speeds up to 87 miles per hour in all electric mode, and is capable of unlimited range in hybrid mode using its gas engine along with its batteries and ultracaps, still with better mileage than comparable gasoline only cars. In addition, contrary to the common image of electric and hybrid vehicles, the XH-150 is also capable of much faster acceleration than comparable gas-only SUVs.


Here is a video of the XH-150:
