2 Weeks Ago, Dahcredyns(noreply@blogger.com) from Hybrid Cars says (in Top Ten Prius proves need for hybrid tax credits?) Certainly, such a credit would hurt US automakers in the short term, but nothing breeds change like necessity. Besides, if plug-in hybrids are going anywhere, a lot more conventional hybrids are going to get there first, and both hybrid types can share battery technology.

Last Month, Dahcredyns(noreply@blogger.com) from Hybrid Cars says (in The next big hybrid hit) As battery powered vehicles gain market share over the next few decades, conventional hybrid cars, such as the Toyota Prius, are expected to gain the lion's share, as plug-in hybrids, EVs and fuel cell vehicles scale their way to cost-effectiveness.

And Dahcredyns(noreply@blogger.com) from Hybrid Cars says (in 5 percent hybrid market share: What will it take?) Only with a legitimate Prius contender?

Nevertheless, hybrid sales fell to just 2.7 percent of total vehicle market share.

So, what takes hybrids to at least 5 percent market share? An equal, but cheaper Prius contender? $4.00 gas? A breakthrough in lithium-ion battery mass production?
