Remember what Lutz said... "<i>Without the premium, where today if you buy a Toyota Prius you have to live to 150 to get back the premium over a conventional car.</i>" Things sure have changed since then... what, 200 years ago? Someone new at the helm, finally recognizing that traditional (non-hybrid) vehicles are the actual problem, is what's always been needed. Fighting the very hybrid helping to promote change in favor of plug-in vehicles never made any sense. Volt Nation. Remember that? Remember what Lutz said… “Without the premium, where today if you buy a Toyota Prius you have to live to 150 to get back the premium over a conventional car.” Things sure have changed since then… what, 200 years ago?

Someone new at the helm, finally recognizing that traditional (non-hybrid) vehicles are the actual problem, is what’s always been needed. Fighting the very hybrid helping to promote change in favor of plug-in vehicles never made any sense.
