There have been recent rumors about building hybrid light trucks at this

Tangentially, notice that Toyota announced it's newest plant will be built in Ontario despite offers of hundreds of millions in tax benefits from various US states. Published reports say it was because Toyota has been having trouble finding enough hourly workers at it's existing US plants who could read well enough to take instruction.

You pay for it in taxes. It doesn't come from nothing. Although there are significant cost savings in having one payer.
