Electric cars are a very old idea. In this month's Hemmings Classic Car there is an article about a hybrid built in 1916 that used a gasoline engine with a generator and traction motor combo, and used regenerative braking to help recharge the batteries.
So these "new" ideas have been around a very long time. The problems are still those of cost and practicality.
