I think that plugin hybrids make a lot of sense - they have the advantages of both EV's and ICE's. I hope every hybrid has a plug, for sure.
Another strategy for regular cars: have a deep cycle battery (or two) and use regenerative braking to charge while driving and trickle charger to keep it topped up. Glow plugs in the catalytic converter would be good, as well as a coolant pre-heater.
