If you aren’t going to use a vehicle with an internal combustion engine then hybrids are the way to go. Diesel-Electric locomotives case in point. Toyota is being much smarter than GM, Ford, Chrysler, and a host of others.
GM for some reason is going the opposite way. The Chevy Volt hybrid is a winner at 40 mile ev range and 340 mile ice range
Now it’s the all EV Chevy bolt. Just killing what was the real winner.
“Diesel-Electric locomotives case in point.”
Absolutely, and no batteries required. We should have moved this direction 80 years ago.
