I'm waiting for someone to make a series hybrid using the Müller wave disc motor: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_disk_engine

If the kinks can be worked out, this seems clearly preferable to a fully electric car. The wave disc motor is (claimed to be) extremely light, compact, and efficient. (It's only suitable for a series hybrid, though; it doesn't have the RPM range necessary to power a drive train directly.)
