The Prius/hybrids will come into their own when people can plug them in at night and drive the first 60 on DC or better yet... have an all electric 200 mile capable city car and rent a long distance FE Yaris when necessary. Of course this future is predicated on electricity costs not being jacked up to match liquid fuel due to newly renamed/rebranded tax and cap money grabbing schemes.
