The Green Motorcar company is producing a new car. It is flex-fuel plug-in hybrid. A flex=fuel vehicle has an engine that runs on various combinations of ethanol, methanol and gasoline. The engine drives a generator that charges the battery, which then drives the car. It's also possible to charge the battery by plugging the car into a standard wall outlet. It's called a hybrid because it is able to run on the battery alone or with the flex-fuel engine. The car features many new innovations, including the fles-fuel feature and the plug-in.
