I don't see how you figure that. After all, a Prius (about as mass-market a hybrid as you can get) with all the options still goes for under $30K, while a Hummer or Escalade starts north of $50K, likewise for your BMWs, Mercedes & Porsches, and the tricked-out "Big Hat, No Cattle" type pickups can easily run into that territory...
Bottom line, if instead of buying one of those, you buy a Prius and pay $10K for the conversion, you'll STILL have $10K or more left in your wallet before you even pump your first tank :-)
