Hybrid question: Am I right in thinking a hybrid ICE/EV has twice the potential for malfunction? It seems like you'd have real problems if something goes wrong with either the ICE engine or the electric motor.

IMHO instead of an ICE/EV hybrid, a married couple (read: need 2 cars anyway) ought to consider one BEV car and one ICE car. That works for my wife and me. That gives us the best of both worlds with the ability to choose which one best meets that day's needs. To heck with the Dims making people go all one way.

Our EV is great for most driving, including most trips. But there are times an EV won't cut it. So on those times we drive the ICE pickup (both for pickup chores and for times taking the EV on a trip would mean driving through charging deserts). The other times we drive the ICE pickup is if my wife and I split up for the day and need two cars to drive in separate directions.

That has always struck me as a sensible transportation plan for a family.
