I'm talking about the normal average car buying public too. If they wanted a car to get them from A-B and wanted to save the planet while they were doing it, all ICE cars would have a Prius-like drivetrain today. That they don't is the proof of my concept.
The tech has existed in mainstream reliable fashion for over 25 years and was not depending on some as-yet un-invented breakthrough. People quit buying them after those that want that driving dynamic got their fill. It is now discontinued. Most of us have never owned a prius, and there is a reason for that : we don't actually care that much about efficient ICE's when it comes right down to it, and thus they aren't bought, meaning few are made. Manufactures are perfectly capable, and have been for decades.
