@Kasz: If you were meaning ethanol, normal otto engine works with a mix of ethanol and gasoline. For example in Sweden they use 85/15 mix. It ups the consumption a little, but it works basically normally.
The reason for not having plug-in cars, is the size, life, weight and cost of the batteries, making the car expensive and impractical. And charging also takes a lot of time (not to mention the oil industrys influence on car industry). Basically phase two hybrids would take us one step closer to plug-in cars, but hybrids are very expensive. Let's take a look on Toyota Prius, which costs about 1,7 times the price of Corolla, a car from which it's made from.
Of course there is Tesla Motors and a number of "homemade" tries, but nothing that would be a commercial success.
