Just saw this... looks promising

I'm guessing the geniuses at Nissan have been thinking this over already... hopefully it is viable as a way to get more range on highways. Seems that an improved battery formulation giving 10 to 20% combined with a 15% improvement from a transmission or at least an overdrive highway ratio mode of some sort... would be awesome. Get real range into the 120 to 150 mile zone.
