Todays hybrids have small battery packs and cannot be recharged from the utility grid system. Night time electric power is available from many renewable resources therefore reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Presently there are no plug-in electric hybrid vehicles offered by any major car company in the U.S.

The EV revolution will only go as far as the global network of charging stations allows — meaning that the key indicator is not EV sales but how quickly countries and their governments are moving to prepare their grids for the energy demands of those vehicles.
