Gas engines are good at idling.
Electric is good at accel, and decel actually recharges them.

That is the reflex but it’s wrong. Two power sources additional unneeded complexity more points of failure and more. An ICE vehicle that is not strangled by stupid unnecessary regulations is the way to go.
