The map is: hybrid cars as first step into totally electric cars. First you make then hybrid then move into totally electric cars.

Hence the step is into the wrong direction as emissions are concerned.

A carmaker can't place all the bets on a single horse, hence the hybrid.

The new plug in hybrids will do either.

So you can use cheap electricity to "top off" the batteries at night. You still have the range that the energy density of gasoline provides, and the convience of a zillion gas stations.
