Ah, ok. It just seems the hybrid technology has been around 20 years in cars and would be the most efficient method. At least compared to the EV.

The white elephant with anything with a battery is that at some point the electric drive battery will need replacing.

A hybrid doesn’t have as nearly the size battery that an EV has so it will costs less to replace but it will still be expensive. The big problem is manufacturing. Manufacturers only produce parts for a limited number of years before new technology or a new design that will make a late model part not in the supply chain rendering a some what new model car obsolete and ready for the junk yard.
