Renault have already been selling a plug-in hybrid 5-seater EV in Europe for years now, but only in low volume... It uses a tiny 10 kW engine to recharge the batteries as required, but electric power for 90% of the time.

Does anyone have any gossip on whether they might consider bringing out a mainstream, well-priced plug-in hybrid?
