Last week I saw a TV program...maybe on Natl.Geo? about
the GM hybrid, and how GM mandated that all be turned in for destruction. It seemed so unbelievable that they could, or would, do that.

I have not had or needed a car since I left the USA in 2004, but from what I could see, the hybrid looked like a pretty decent idea, unlike the totally electric car which seems like a joke.

My question...What is wrong with the hybrid, as long as you can switch to gas when out of juice?
The owners seemed to love the car.
What am I missing here?

I believe you are talking about the GM Impact from 1996 -

It was not a hybrid, it was an all-electric car.

I now looked it up.
It was the EV1 electric car.
GM would not let owners keep them.
