Also, the Clarity is technically an electric car, it just doesn't need 70 years to re-charge its battery.

I'm not arguing the merits of fuel calls versus batteries. For the purposes of this thread, I'm saying that battery powered electric cars will, in 2025, be a more significant factor in determining the average fuel economy of the fleet offerings of the Big Three automakers. Hybrids are the transitional technology today, full electrics are next, hydrogen fuel cells will come next, depending largely on the availability of economical widespread hydrogen production technology. I just don't see this happening quick enough to be much of a factor in 2025.
