I don't find it at all absurd that they expect to switch entirely to hybrids. Hybrid does not always mean the sort of hybrid we're most used to seeing today. Hybrid could easily refer to a very small electric engine and battery setup that makes only some minor improvements to the performance. There are vehicles on the road today that are technically hybrids that aren't anywhere close to what we usually refer to as a hybrid. Seems logical, then, to build some element of hybrid technology into every vehicle eventually, no matter what other improvements you make.
