Some good points are brought up. Obviously, recharging is going to be one of the biggest factors. Battery quality and serviceability will be another. Getting people to change their thinking is yet another hurdle.

How about this one? Deaf people. Hybrids, running under battery power, produce almost no noise. Deaf people have been raising a ruckus about this... saying hybrids are unsafe. Well, unfortunately, at least in my opinion (cold though it may be), the benefit of the planet and the majority of those who inhabit it should be placed before people with a disability. Deaf people just need to take their time crossing the street, and make sure to look both ways.

Just wanted to point out that small obstacle.
