Having owned a Hybrid I will say that they are probably not the best of both worlds but the worst. Sure, you save a few bucks on gas but keep in mind that you are getting all of the potential failure points of an ICE vehicle as well as all of the potential failure points of an EV. IMO they were a decent bridge until battery tech could replace ICE for most applications but it won't be around for long. One of the best parts of having an EV is the sheer simplicity of it all. It's a glorified gold cart: batteries, drive motor(s) and the wires and computers to make it all work. Add in suspension, brakes and seats and you have an EV. Once we start seeing more and more on the road with hundreds of thousands of miles chugging along with a slightly diminished range and zero other performance hits I think people who doubt their reliability will see the light.
