Hybrid technology is definitely improving. The new Lexus mid-sized SUV is coming out in both a hybrid and a gasoline version. The hybrid will actually have better peformance than the gasoline version, with higher mileage to boot. Now THAT's a hybrid I would consider. Indeed the torque profile of an electric motor would be great for foul-weather driving.

Hook a loaded trailer behind both and then try to compare performance.
