Exactly. That's why I said nothing makes sense for everyone. There are very few one-size-fits-all solutions. But, I would like to re-iterate the difference between a hybrid and a plug-in hybrid. Very big difference. I have absolutely no use for a "regular" hybrid. Thousands more $ for just a few more mpg. Also, because of where I live, (The Western US) a straight up electric only car wouldn't work for me because I would have money tied up in a car that I couldn't leave town with, due to the wide open spaces here... hundreds of miles between potential charging sites. A plug-in hybrid solves the limitations of both a standard hybrid and an all electric vehicle. In other words, it is the best of both worlds, without the downside of either. For me. Not for everyone.
