From today: "The current capabilities of electric vehicles do not meet society's needs, whether it may be the distance the cars can run, or the costs, or how it takes a long time to charge," said, Uchiyamada, who spearheaded Toyota's development of the Prius hybrid in the 1990s.

  The problem with all of the plug-in hybrids is that they can only run about 12 miles on full electric power. I don't know about you, but I need an electric car that can run at least 50 miles to get to work and back.

    The Volt has an EV-only range of 40 miles.
