In the 1980s, local inventor Sarabjit Gandhi created the Gaselle (pictured below), one of the first gas-electric hybrid cars, which he drove from New York to Vancouver for Expo '86. History of the electric-gas car explained in this Unknown Victoria article.
Mr. Gandhi lives right here in Victoria, BC and I got the pleasure of meeting him AND meeting the car. Not only does Mr. Gandhi have the Gaselle parked in his garage, he had a 1970 Lotus parked next to it. Mr. Gandhi invited me to his workshop where he is literally an invention machine. Mr. Gandhi owns the Ghandi Group. He probably has the "ugliest" website but that does not matter because his inventions speak for themselves. Impressive stuff and a fascinating fellow to hang around with. We text occasionally (**blushing**).
