I just checked the market for used Priuses and they're asking $10-12K for an under 100K miles, 10 year old model. While I agree that plug in electrics and fuel cell cars are still too new on the market, most hybrids are valued based on mpg.
I'll be waiting for battery technology to give me a 500 mile range along with photovoltaic paint for an unlimited range while the sun is shining.

I get about 300 miles on my Pathfinder before I decide to fill up. Then, I "can" go another 300 miles, but I'm personally done at about 525 total. The refill takes me about 10 minutes off the road, and the two tanks of gasoline costs about 80 dollars.
When an electric vehicle can do that, wherever I am, I might be interested.
But we'll need a lot more windmills blighting the landscape before it can be a large-scale proposition.

Connect enough of them on top of the car and you could go forever!

I guess traditional hybrids have been around long enough but plug-in gas-electrics and pure plug-in electrics are making nice jumps in range with each generation.
300+ miles would be good for me but I wish they could speed up the recharge time. I like your photovoltaic paint idea.
