General thoughts on Hybrids
SLIGHTLY off topic as I'm asking more about T(oad)Vs rather than T(ow)Vs. BUT, this is the motorhead sub-forum - engines and drive trains and MPGs and all that fun stuff. What do "we" think abou...

Why stop at hybrid instead of going full electric?
Range and battery life keep getting better.
Assuming Plug-In-Hybrid:
- upwards of 95% of miles on battery.
- Priced about the same as ICE vs 30% upcharge for BEV.
- If you do have to take a long road trip, just stop 5min to fill up.
- If battery pack does die, it's much smaller and cheaper than a BEV.
Basically the vast majority of the advantages without the downsides.
Another reason: Some plug-in hybrids can be flat towed. I'm not aware of any full EVs that allow flat-towing aside from very limited emergency towing.
