I begrudgingly admit that the federal government has no business dictating CAFE. They are a state unto themselves.
If the federal government wants to reduce fuel consumption, their appropriate lever is taxation. Everything else is ignorance at best, corruption at worst.
I'm surprised plug-in trucks haven't been a thing 12 years ago. Perfect application for a plug-in hybrid. The power you come to expect in a hybrid; and the fuel economy to ease the sting at the pump. Heck, eliminating the traditional automatic transmission alone should be motivation enough.
Looking forward to seeing how the RAV4 plug-in fairs. I'm very optimistic, and expect larger vehicles to adopt the strategy.
