All the hybrid tech was just stuff that had already been commercialized for decades being repackaged anyway, so the only question was whether or not OEMs could put it all together and still make a profit. They didn't have a major component (fuel cell) that hasn't been mass produced anywhere, not to mention cost, if production ramps up in the first place.
