Hybrids are years away from being economical. What that article does not reveal is that hybrids require their battery units to be replaced every 18-24 months (its the same with all rechargable products) and that is expensive as hell. Its a bigger problem where there temperature extremes, like here in Arizona where you'll get a couple years out of a standard car battery. The technology is promising, but they are still years away from having a product that is economically feasible.
