I give you the HYBRID, the carbon footprint to build one is in some cases 4 times that of a conventional car, the metals used in the batteries are nasty to the environment.
And if you drive down the freeway at the speed limit, you'll be passed by several cars, when you see a hybrid going over the speed limit, he's getting about the same gas mileage you are.

The hybrid is a sad mistake... a stepping stone, but stupid. for the reasons you clearly point out. But, for cars, there are other alternatives that do not have those same limitations but do have the limitations of a minuet infrastructure able to currently support them (hydrogen)
The hybrid is just and example of the public being tossed a bone to make them "feel good" and does nothing to actually help the problem.
