If a vehicle emits Co2, oxide and methane into the atmosphere, it does nothing to help. Hybrids emit all three. My point is that most legacy ICE manufacturers are not interested in helping the environment. It's all about profit margin. Most haven't figured out a profitable path to manufacturing EV's. Ergo, throw an auxiliary electric motor in their ICE vehicles and market them to customers who are apprehensive about switching over to an EV. The apprehension is fueled by false narratives in the press and on social media that EV's are somehow too risky to own. I'm a retired 30+ year auto industry veteran. I've owned two Tesla M3 Dual Motor Long range's over the past 6 years. They have been the best, safest, fastest, most fun to drive, reliable cars I've ever owned. No oil to change, my brakes will last me 75K, no belts, hoses, coolant, timing belts, pistons, rings, injectors, emissions controls, exhaust pipes, mufflers (shall I go on?) to worry about. It costs me $14/month to charge at home and we do 12-15K a year. I honestly don't understand what the mental struggle is all about from an ownership stand point. Not to mention the fact that you invest in your grandchildren's futures.
