Japanese carmakers are making a motza with hybrids, which is why they keep spruiking them. Mostly targeting the mental illness of 'range anxiety'. Don't be fooled though, they're using the money to tool up for full-EVs. Good hybrids are wonderful vehicles, I have two. But driving a hybrid gives you a real appetite for a full-EV, because the petrol engine is like a ball and chain around the car's performance and efficiency. It's like eating an ice cream cone with one scoop of deluxe ice cream, and one scoop of cheap ice cream. It all tastes pretty good, but you want that cheaper scoop out of the cone as soon as possible.
