I think they would have much more success pushing hybrids first.
Personally, I would legislate hybrids off the road and get serious about charging infrastructure – that is if the industry is sure it can sustain battery manufacture. (there are still questions marks over the long term future production of batteries at this time)
Buy hybrid – in my humble opinion – is daft. You got two or more engines. You got two fuels cells. In other words, you end of wasting a shit load of energy in manufacturing creating the darm thing – and everywhere you go you are lugging your seriously overweight car. Add in to that often poor passenger space and poor boot space.
It’s a bit like re-using your plastic bags. Which is good. And there is arguably good aspects to hybrid. But really, hybrid cars, like reusable plastic bags – allow us, and in this case the car industry too, to think we are “saving the planet” (how I hate that fuckin term) or “doing our bit” when frankly we are doing nothing of the sort.
Hybrids should have been banned before they even got off the car lot.

(VNA's personal opinion)
I for one will be looking at a hybrid for my next car. More than likely the Hyundai Tuscon 48V.
Make sure it has a foc off bomb proof long term warranty. And it trade in with a decent bit warranty left. Could be wrong Dude – but I know I wouldn’t buy a used hybrid without a comprehensive manufacturer backed warranty. Used values of these motors could plummet at some point - soon. Another reason why I feel it is one or the other.
