It’s not the volts, it’s the amps if I remember correctly.

That’s a line from a movie. What’s it from?

Plus the heavy , expensive battery that has to be replaced every so often but can not be recycled.

Apparently the battery production process, then disposal is not so eco- friendly ?

But Al Gore says we should count all the volts.

It’s not the volts, it’s the amps if I remember correctly.

It's three things. Amps, voltage and resistance. i.e. ohms law. Amps (current) is proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance.

It takes about 100 ma or so to kill. If my memory serves me correctly.

I = V/R

It is - you do.

Well, maybe things are different for special certified Hybrid mechanics.

Hybrids are the perfect car. Sealed up, electronics, etc where you can’t do anything yourself and the dealer/manufacturer makes money off service agreements. They are disposable cars, with a very predictable life since batteries only have a lifespan that goes so far. They are overpriced with huge profit margins since they are in vogue among those wanting to “save the planet.” The Hybrid is to cars what the disposable camera is in photography.

You are correct. You can build up a 10000 volt charge by shuffling across a carpet or by petting a cat.

No, it's the volts. Static electricity not withstanding.

[Revolting cat!]

It’s not the volts, it’s the amps if I remember correctly.

And if I remember correctly amps are optional equipment when you buy a hybrid. Don't include 'em in your package!

George76 is correct it is the amps that kill you not volts.
