A plug in hybrid would work well as a tow vehicle, but the weight, cost and complexity makes it hard to recover any savings
Nobody ever promised any "savings" at least not any monetary ones.
You're supposed to spend as much as you can, "sacrifice" in the name of the planet, so you can show off how good of a person you are to everyone else. "See? I drive a HYBRID! It cost me a LOT of money, but I'm SAVING the planet, so it's worth it! Pat me on the back! Please?"
That's why the Prius nickname is the "Pious", because that's how their owners act.:W
This is why I do not recycle, or do any of the other things we should do. I know the planet will survive. Humanity? Not sure. And when I look around at the world, am told we are the greatest we have ever been, greatest country, and all that, I have to think, "If this is the best we can do, is it worth saving?"
