The thing is, it is the oil companies which doesn't want the consumers to actually get these types of cars, and thus invest bribe the automobile manufactures into not simply rolling out alternative types.

And people argue we should give these companies more power with a "Free-r" market because they will obviously act in our interests and not their own.
Fortunately for the rest of us, however, in 10 years nobody will dream of buying an american car, and the Japanese make greener and greener cars.
