For many reasons but primarily low gas prices Hybrid sales are a fraction of what the gas powered Optima is. Kia has also introduced an Electric Soul this year which will also be a low volume seller – just an FYI. While alternative Energy vehicle are politically correct they have never really gained the traction that many people have hoped for. Gas powered vehicles have improved in MPH significantly and the price of gasoline is no longer a barrier.
