I don’t want a hybrid either. Still has a battery that will go bad and is expensive to replace. The battery makes the car heavy requiring new tires more often. A heavy car is harder to stop and handles more poorly than the equivalent normal car. No thanks, not for me.

I own a 2008 Toyota Prius. At 192,000 miles, it still runs very well. Of courser, I’ve never driven it more than 200 miles from where I live. For that, I still rely on my ICE car.
