What happened to the hybrid cars?

They're out there. Folks are buying the hype for long range full electric promising 200-300 or more miles per charge lie not realizing so many factors make them maybe 100 mile range. Hybrids are typically much less range, under a hundred miles, but the gas engine gets them to a destination when the charge dies where the ev just dies in place. There's a niche for the hybrid as a short range grocery getter, or school shuffle transport, but that's about it.

Sheesh - we barely do a hundred miles in two weeks. Talk about us being couch potatoes...

My liberal sister bought a Prius, until she had to replace the battery. Now she drives a gas 600hp BMW.

They can talk the talk, but they can’t walk the walk when it comes to their own beliefs.

There’s a niche for purely electric cars. Short work and shopping trips. But nothing else.
