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...

Hybrid sales are starting to wane somewhat and have already been eclipsed by BEV’s. The Volt was cancelled this year and Prius sales are half of what they were 10 years ago. Most manufacturers are putting there R and D into full electric. There will probably be some Hybrid market in North America for awhile yet or at least until charge infrastructure catches up to the rest of the world. In the meantime, a Prius plug in hybrid is a good choice....but not towable.
Until all manufacturers have supercharger network like Tesla has,
then hybrids are way better imo.
Via motors can do it why not GM

Meh. If you do that kind of travelling a lot there is probably some advantage. Kinda depends on your region infrastructure too. A hybrid would hold no advantage for us. We rarely go further than 500 or 600 km....unless we are in the Motorhome or on a plane. A hybrid is just more to maintain. Might work for some though. The volt was a neat idea. Just never caught on.
