Hybrids sound great unless you are designing and building cars. Making a car with two power sources takes a lot more engineering and a lot more cost.
I’m mostly saying there is a progression that takes place.
Evs are like trying to go from the invention of the radio straight to pcs.
There’s a lot of research and development that has to take place in between.
Rocket technology to landing a man on the moon.
Rotary phones to smart phones.
If one uses both the ICE and electric motors for locomotion. If the ICE is only used as a generator for the batteries, it’s not as complicated.
