All those writers pretty much ignore the laws of economics.

Exactly. Eventually the electric motors will get better and better on hybrids. Home charging will probably start being an option in a few years, so more people will start moving to solar on their homes. In 10 years I think 100 mpg cars will be common place. Then you will start seeing small gas motors that assist a primary electric motors. Then eventually someone will come out with a full electric car probably with a solar roof to recharge the car with a home charging option. None of this is really far fetched, we are just at the being of a drastic change in cars IMO.
