Modern battery technology makes these cars really no better than a standard car. Batteries are heavy, and will only last about 50 miles or so. They would be great if operated within short distances from home, but long charging cycles verses short useful life makes them not worth thier cost.

Many of the Hybrids do, indeed, have a "plug-in" option available. It's kind of an emergency use thing, tho, because you are dealing with a shorter-use battery than with an all-battery car.
The biggest factors are the extra weight of the battery bank needed and the space that would take. The extra weight would harm your efficiency, and acceleration capabilities as well. That was the whole thinking BEHIND the hybrid was to eliminate the need for a large, heavy battery bank.
