The 100% increase in mpg from going hybrid-electric isn't going to
make up for a 700% increase in fuel costs.
The only way to maintain any semblance of a lifestyle is to power
hybrid electric off the grid as much as possible and just use fuel
where absolutely necessary.
There are two choices, either build a network of charging stations or
electrify highways.
When battery costs are added in the charging station option would cost
motorists three times more/mile than coming straight off the roadbed.
To justify these battery costs then the cost/mile of all the charging
stations would need to be much lower than the cost/mile of an
electrified highway system.
