They’ll figure it out someday.
Right now its not feasible to go electric.
I see hybrids more in the future untill they figure it out.
Hybrids sound interesting. Does the battery needs to be charges at home from wall outlet or is it strictly regenerative charging?
I purchased a 2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid. It promised 32 MPG and a $3,000 tax rebate. Reality: the tax rebate was $1200. During the Winter when the ICE engine needed to run for heating, it produced 21 MPG. During the Summer when 80+ degree days are common, it produced 26 MPG due to ICE/air conditioner. In very mild Spring/Fall days, it edged toward 28 MPG. One ONE day when I was driving from San Diego to Pocatello, the fabled 32 MPG happened. It was 70 degrees. Steady driving speed. No airconditioning, ECO mode. That lasted from San Diego to Mesquite. Once the real mountain climbing started, the 26 MPG figure returned.
The only time it ran in electric mode was in shopping center parking lots where it scared pedestrians because it was so quiet.
