Nope. Pure electric cars will never be much of the market, because that is, for lack of a better term, "non-renewable" energy. Hybrids truly use less energy to get from place to place because they turn chemical PE into KE, then recover some of the KE and reconvert it to PE. Lather rinse repeat, you get increased fuel economy. Trying to meet the energy demands of our transportation usage would utterly paralize our already stressed electricity production infrastructure. Thank the very environmental lobbyists who hate on IC engines for not enabling us to fix that.
