Well if you live on an island, the demand for long travel distances aren't really a concern which is why it isn't more popular here.

The price of going EV vs the drivability range of the car kills the whole idea for me..
I'd think by now they'd have altanators that could charge faster than what draws off the batteries.. I'd love to see more diesel hybrid stuff out here..

Thats where I'd put my mulah.. All the city bus's in the area are diesel hybrids...
