Test drove a CR-V hybrid today and what a great driving car. I can see why it’s popular. Hybrid is great for most people until charging infrastructure gets better
The presumption that BEV is better was the fallacy that was tripping people up. It was like one of those speed seduction fast-talking slight-of-hand kindof things.
We all should have gotten psyched up about the ingeniousness of the newest Hybrids/HEV tech instead of being derailed by the BEV dead end and the con men it rode in on.
We don’t need more chargers all over. More people should adopt Hybrids/HEVs when the time comes for them to replace their car, and they shouldn’t be negative about internal combustion generally. It’s possible that a liquid gasoline replacement comes out in the next hundred years thats got more performance and is better for the environment that’d work excellently with internal combustion engines, so people shouldn’t be so dang hostile to it. The BEV (and to a lesser degree, PHEV too) distraction was a distraction from the bigger picture, and it became a bit of a fixation for some people. Economy-wise, HEVs justify themselves through their lifetime of cost savings. BEVs don’t, so some greedy men lobbied governments for taxpayer moneys and have been mooching since. Environment-wise, China’s and India’s and the U.S.'s coal plants and garbage incineration pollute tremendously more than the global transportation segment does. Transportation-caused pollution is relatively small potatoes. The huge quantity of toxic waste from dead BEV batteries is going to be a lasting reminder of humanity’s foolishness.
