+Unfortunately, as of yet many of the greatest aspects of battery electric vehicles, or BEVs are not available in current Hybrids.
 The EV-Button still doesn't allow you to recharge the batteries with electricity from a fuel source of your choice.  Though it does hold the potential of a fuel choice which is already widely available and potentially renewable.  By Plugging-In to an electrical outlet you can dramatically improve your ''gas'' mileage.  The Grid is more than capable of supporting a large number of BEVs or PHEVs before it would require additional capacity, in fact it may help to ''load balance'' the grid.
