It is not just having a workable technology. The technology has to be affordable too.

Today, people already feel that one has to pay too much of a premium for today's hybrids, over gas only. IMHO, doubling that premium for a plug-in, would not yield enough sales.

Would 25,000+ people per year, be willing to pay $40,000 for a basic plug-in Escape?
