Hybrids get you reductions vs ICEs but not as much as with EVs. The extent of the reductions with hybrids depends upon how much the ICE is used in the hybrid.
Wheel to wheel emissions tool compares ice, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and EV emissions.
Allowing both, hybrids and evs, to be developed and manufactured (as opposed to pushing back at their development at every opportunity) is the path forward to reducing emissions. Both will have their uses (where it makes sense) and ices will continue where it makes sense. As improvements are made in the performance and charging infrastructure, where evs makes sense will expand. We’ll never learn what is possible if no one tries.
