We don’t spend anything like that on gas.

And both our ICE cars are very fuel efficient.

Also, over the years, because of the ambulance situation in my neck of the woods, I’ve had to run a number of friends and family to various ERs.

Just another reason I will never own a vehicle I have to charge to run.

You and I are in agreement with full EV’s. I view them as a waste of time and money. They are nothing but a money sink.

However, I view hybrids as an advance. We are nearing the theoretical potential of ICE vehicles, based on the numbers and the theoretical performance we can get from them. Without a revolution in reducing bodyweight, we are probably nearing the end of what can be done.

The average American spends about $2,000/year on gas, so for him a hybrid battery would be useful to him. You must not do much driving if you aren’t spending that.
