Not a fan in the slightest.
Building a hybrid exotic is a pointless exercise... in product planning, politics and marketing.

Using the forthcoming hybrid Cayenne as an example, the lithium for the batteries is:
* strip-mined in Canada,
* processed into a battery cell in Japan and
* shipped to Stuttgart for installation.

They aren't using pickaxes to excavate and they aren't using sailboats to ship.

So how green could a production 918 truly be?
