solomon technologies has a hybrid Sailboat /diesel/electic system.
the largest shipping motor they have in production is a 12 hp but they have a 20 hp 1000rpm engine in testing right now.
We have been in discussions with them about a hybrid system for a sailboat my brother and I are starting construction on next summer.
however the 20 hp MIGHT be really good for a car as well as it does regenerative chrging when the sailboat is under sail.

interesting reading regardless.
