President Obama wants 1 million plug-in hybrids on the road by 2015, according to the newspaper.

But vehicle manufacturers and environmental groups are concerned that consumers will have a difficult time swallowing an additional $15,000 to $20,000 added to the price tag of a hybrid plug-in compared with a conventional vehicle, the newspaper reports.
