It’s “outrageous” to the estimated 90% of the population who can’t afford a Tesla (well over $35K) who only have to wait 5 minutes for refuel the ICE or hybrid. More affordable EVs don’t get anything like 300 mile range. Many/most Tesla buyers are eco-chics.
Missing the point. The question is whether potential EV buyers (who can afford it) would still prefer a hybrid if charging and range issues go away (due to better batteries and faster, more available charging options). I am saying that these are the only advantages of hybrid over EV.
In any case, we are talking about a relatively small percentage of buyers (probably the last to convert to full EV) who drive cross-country on a regular basis. In our house, we will likely have an EV (next year) and one of our current ICE vehicles. A few years from now the ICE will go away, as well.
I do not dispute that there will be those who will hang on to their ICE/hybrid cars until the bitter end, but the ultimate future is full EV, not hybrid and the required oil/gas infrastructure needed to keep them on the roads.
