Think about it....with a 100 mile electric range plus a reasonably powerful gas engine, you'll have the best of both worlds. Plug-in the car at night (and also at your employer as this will become the fashionable new "employee benefit") and you might get 400, 500, 600 mpgs out of any vehicle. The typical work commute is around 50-60 miles a day.

This idea is reasonable..I just don't think we will see it really happen until 2020 or somewhere around then. It would take something very well engineered to move a 6000 lb Sequoia on just battery alone and I can't see anything that is made for a Prius etc really working in a Sequioa. Also cost would be very big factor.
But for small cars. It works.
