Fuel cell cars are the future, not hybrids. With Tesla planning to make a battery plant with huge capacity, obviously they did this so they get the business for the battery plant.

To sell a car in California, you need ZEV credits. With pure electric cars, you get 2 ZEV credits unless it has more than 300 miles range AND fast fuel refilling capabilities. Fast fuel refilling capabilities means it has to be able to refuel at the same amount of time as it takes to fill up a tank in a gasoline car. If you are able to do that, you get 7 ZEV credits. This means that after 2020, the only vehicle that will get those ZEV credits in any meaningful number, so you can sell your other cars, is fuel cell cars.
