Hybreds are inherently not the solution to the transportation issue. When electric mode you are lugging around a heavy internal combustion engine plus all its liquids. When in motor mode you are lugging a heavy battery. The vehicle itself is too complex really and hence expensive to build and service, as well as limiting carrying space.
No this is the wrong way to go IMHO. Until you can generate and transmit electrical power cleanly and electrical solution relying on "plugging in" is not on either.
I like solar cells myself that should charge up "clean batteries" but there are no clean batteries and the cells are way too expensive presently - problem in non sunny countries too./
