Todays hybrids have small battery packs and cannot be recharged from the utility grid system. Therefore, they have extremely limited range on their small battery packs and are usually only used at very low speeds (below 15 mph). Presently there are no plug-in electric hybrid vehicles offered by any major car company in the U.S.
