Why are they not Making more plug in hybrids? Look at Toyota with the rav4 prime and the new Prius prime, they are both almost impossible to get and regularly sell above MSRP. They are cheaper to make, cost less for the consumer, don't have the range and infrastructure issues of pure electric, and take much smaller batteries.
