Good job! My sense is that until more than 50% of electricity can be generated by renewables and more energy-dense, lighter, and recyclable batteries made, the PHEV is the better value and choice. That said, it would be nice if they got at least 60 mpg (and 120 mpg elec + gas equivalent), and had 40 mile electric ranges (with drivers mostly using in that mode). I'm also disappointed to learn that '24 hybrid Tacoma will only get 28 mpg, and Tacoma & Maverick hybrids will not be available in PHEV models...pickups really need to get more efficient!
