What choice are you wanting?
This isn’t an all electric plug in... this is a ICE car with batteries.
I don’t think most consumers are going to through a hissy over a passenger car that comes in only hybrid form, that they want ICE only.
Down side of hybrid is it raises the cost, so folks who can’t afford it will go elsewhere, that’s true.. but I don’t think huge folks are going ICE only for me.
If they had made it plug in only, then yes, that would have tanked this car overnight. But hybrid? Nah.. will lose customers who can’t afford the extra cost hybrid adds vs pure ICE... but that’s about it.
The choice of not having these ridiculous regulations. They arr no choice at all.
There’s a reason people eschew hybrids still.
