Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has pledged to stop building cars powered solely by petrol and diesel. The company hopes that every car built after 2020 will either be fully electric or a hybrid that makes use of both an electric motor and a traditional petrol-powered engine.
"Every new Jaguar Land Rover model line will be electrified from 2020," Jaguar Land Rover boss Ralf Speth said in a statement. "We will introduce a portfolio of electrified products across our model range, embracing fully electric, plug-in hybrid and mild hybrid vehicles."
The move comes just months after rival Volvo Cars confirmed that it would electrify its entire range of vehicles by 2019. Between 2019 and 2021, Volvo plans to launch five new electric vehicles, while every other car in the range will feature some form of hybrid engine. Honda has also promised that all of its new models from 2020 on will have an electrified variant.

Your claim to powers of long-distance mind-reading have unfortunately not bolstered your knowledge about applications of electric and/or ICE-electric hybrid vehicle technologies [soylentnews.org].
What social situation have you recently exited in which is considered proper or useful to perceive a "win" in a discussion by vapidly declaring yourself correct, then immediately attempting (impotently, I might add) to end further conversation?

The message is more important than the messenger. The message here began with your freely-offered commentary [soylentnews.org], how that commentary was hilariously [soylentnews.org] inaccurate [soylentnews.org], and now on to your continual deflection, misdirection, and pointless gum-flapping in an attempt to distract from your revealed naked shame of ignorance behind your flimsy facade you imagine to be insight.
English not being your first language is no excuse for such flimflam.

:-) You're not for real. I doubt you are even a human. I'll have to call it a day until I know for sure.

Consider yourself fortunate that I am not likely to be an extraterrestrial engaged in the process of analyzing a presumed normal human as part of a process to determine whether or not your planet should be obliterated to make way for a new intergalactic highway.
