Ultimate Green Excuse - I'm waiting for a plug-in hybrid?
Is this Escape hybrid the best investment in plug-in hybrid technology?"I'm waiting for a plug-in hybrid before I buy my first hybrid vehicle," is a statement I often hear. Due to this consumer sentiment in plug-in hybrids, phantom buying lists exist on the Internet as an attempt to prove to automakers that consumers would buy them.
Yet, how could plug-in hybrids be cost-effective enough for consumers if most of today's hybrid cars are not cost-effective for most consumers - at least not in the short term (In the long term, most hybrids are cost-effective)?

Besides, many of today's full hybrids, such as the Ford Escape hybrid, the Toyota Prius, and the Toyota Camry hybrid could one day be converted into plug-in hybrids if the technology became cost-effective.
So, why aren't more plug-in hybrid 'fans' buying today's hybrids?
Ultimately, buying today's hybrids is an investment in tomorrow's hybrid technology, such as plug-in hybrid technology. Moreover, buying one of today's hybrid vehicles also addresses many of the reasons one would want to buy a plug-in hybrid for in the first place, such as global warming or foreign oil dependency.
So, if you are in the market for a new auto, don't use the "I'm waiting for plug-in hybrids" as an excuse not to buy one of today's hybrids. Make a stand and invest in the future. The more of today's hybrids that consumers buy, the sooner all consumers will be able to afford plug-in hybrids.
