That's why the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle concept works WAY better. Since PHEVs are essentially today's hybrids with extended battery range, you can run them like a normal hybrid, but with the option of plugging in the battery pack to household current for an overnight charge so you can run the car 30-50 miles on battery power alone before it goes back to normal hybrid mode.

No that’s why plug-in hybrids are doomed. The majority of Americans have no where to plug the thing in, so it’s really just another hybrid, which itself is a bad idea because you’re using two engines to run 1 car, with a completely useless added feature. Hybrids are a bad idea because they do two things poorly instead of one well, my all gas Sentra gets better millage than most of the hybrids advertise. Plug-in hybrids are a bad idea in search of non-existent outlets.
