Comment about a hybrid vehicle. A very common misunderstanding among the anti-EV crowd. An EV is a vehicle that uses electric motors. *Where* it gets the electricty from is irrelevant. Because electric motors are so much more efficient than petrol or diesel motors (400-500% more efficient), they will use *much* less of whatever fuel is used to generate the electricity. A petrol hybrid will use up to half the petrol to drive the same distance as a full petrol car, for example. Obviously the best thing is to use renewable electricity. But in the transition, hybrids will still use a LOT less fossil fuel than sticking with petrols or diesels. They’re also just far better cars to drive, much more powerful and refined.
