Since its founding by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in 1997, Google has grown from a simple search engine to the huge Internet giant it is today. In fact, Google owns so many web assets that many would argue the company is on the path to dominating the online world, challenged only by the might – and popularity – of Facebook.

It took a big advance in technology combined with rising gasoline prices to prepare consumers to finally accept hybrid power, and they did so with the 1997 arrival of the Toyota Prius — more than 100 years after the first electric car.
