There is a lot of talk these days about the Electric Cars, and no doubt they will become more and more accepted during the next few years. All car makers are investing big bucks into EV's and battery technology. While we are a ways away from EVs becoming mainstream, what are your plans to prepare for this? How do think the EV will change our business model? Thoughts? /

I have been following the Hybrid Shop for some time now, and it really does intrigue me. You buy into a franchise agreement and become part of a growing network of dealers dedicated to work on Hybrids, particularly in the area of restoring and reconditioning the main batteries. These battery packs can cost anywhere from 3 to $9,000 at the dealer. With their proven process, they bring the cost down to around $1500. Plus, you get the potential to get all the other work from these Hybrid customers. They are selective in who their grant their dealer agreements with and the cost for program is around $69,000. I would like to ask everyone their opinions on this concept. It appears it is taking off. Heres a link for more information http://www.thehybridshop.com
