The “mileage” of EVs isn’t all that.
Power generation, line losses, inefficiencies in motors ... all work against their “advantages”. As they grow in numbers and the power grid doesn’t keep up (again, the environmentalist will stop it and muck up what they don’t stop by insisting on unreliable “renewables”) then energy costs will begin to increase, and not just on the EVs but on homes and industry. Roads are also not funded by electrical supply, and it will require more intrusive government to make them pay up.
A hybrid, as I said, eliminates the need to substantially enhance the grid, as power generation scales automatically.
As for ICE, they are fine for stop and go. Expectations have been unrealistically raised by a class of folks who think their “best” isn’t an enemy of the good.
When at a stop light next to an EV look and see how many Leftwing or environmentalist bumper stickers they have ... rev your engine loudly just to annoy them if they’ve got more than 1.
I own 2 SUV’s and a convertible (all paid for).
My gasoline costs $60 to $100 bucks per week. Since none are brand new maintenance costs occur regularly.
Factoring in all of the tax breaks I will be out of pocket $100 per month for my Ford Mach e with little to no maintenance for quite some time. I will charge overnight with zero concern for my 20 to 30 miles per day.
If it makes sense for me it makes sense for others.
