It's also possible he's lost faith in electric in general. It's still not ready for prime time. It may take decades of technology improvements to come up with the electric equivalent of the Model T*. "Plug in" electric has not hit that point yet. And even hybrids are challenged by what it would mean to be mass producing the batteries they use. They need new battery tech for that to happen.

*That is, it puts it in the hands of the masses.
