I'm always open (and optimistic) to the future to change the calculus, but we can only take action based on what is currently available. To the best I can figure with current capabilities, hybrid and PHEV is the way to go.

My assumption is that consumers are still very in the dark on what a PHEV is, and what the advantages can be. Most probably think a PHEV has to be plugged in and confuse it with an EV. I had plenty of people ask me what happens when I ran out the battery on my Prius plug-in.
