Hybrids are selling like hotcakes, because people want to save money on fuel, and some even want to go full-electric but are worried about range. On both of those counts, unless you’re doing a lot of driving in more remote areas, you’re far better to buy a full-EV. The petrol part of the hybrid will frustrate you very quickly. And you might cut your fuel bill in half, but at current prices that’s still a hefty fuel bill. I see that on the online forums of people who bought a BYD Shark. Brilliant car and a hybrid, but can also do about 100km as a full-EV. Nearly every person on there sees how powerful and cheap it is when the car is running only as an EV, and looks desperately for every way to avoid needing the petrol engine.
