ironically, the main reason they keep dying out is because of the Big oil companies.
the first gas electric hybrid was made by a guy back in the 60s and was not a little micro car. He used a great big honking full-size Dodge. The car was huge and would go like a rocket. Basically, the guy got screwed over and eventually gave up. They were talking about it on a documentary I've seen a while back. Some of his designs were used in today's gas electric hybrids.
At some point somebody's going to figure out and solve the battery and recharging problem. I still don't understand why they don't just make a electric car with a built on self charging system where the vehicle charges it's batteries while the wheels are turning. It's not actually rocket science. For whatever reason, nobody has yet to use the energy dissipated by the movement of the vehicle in order to recharge the batteries that are powering the vehicle. Another problem. They seem to keep having are the batteries being highly explosive. At some point it's probably going to be somebody's going to come up with a power distribution system of some Sort like a safer version of hydrogen power. Or perhaps a ColdFusion powered vehicle.
