Inner-city Students Build Harley-powered Hybrids (w/ video)

The students’ “EVX” Ford Focus is a modified 2008 model that earned the nickname “Harley Hybrid” from its 1340 cc engine. The electric part of the team’s equation is a 45 kW electric motor from Azure Dynamics, which the EVX relies on up to 40 mph. At higher speeds, or under hard accelerations, it switches over to its modified Harley engine, which is also capable of burning both gasoline and biobutanol. For those of you keeping score, that means these kids built a flex-fuel hybrid. In high school. While taking other classes. The only I worked that hard for in High School was girls.
