Hybrids will be classified as "EVs". So the government will get a "win" while at the same time, it'll allow them to pull away from a disaster if they had to force everyone to get an EV.

So everyone will get a hybrid unless you're buying a corvette or a Lamborghini

2024 Corvette E-Ray is hybrid. I’m pretty sure Lambo has or is developing one, too.

I am not opposed hybrids, but the environmentalist lobby does not like them. They are also a lot more complicated and expensive due to the duplication of powertrain functions for the two modes of operation. I do believe that to have any possibility of making these new economy standards, automakers’ fleets will have to be all hybrids and pure electric.
