And the established mfgs are making compliance cars

Tgey make them because the law requires it

volvo are totally withdrawing pure ICE cars and going hybrid/electric only

Like, here in my state you can only buy two EVs, Tesla and the mitsubishi shitbox one with the stupid name

toyota are pouring money into the mirai

Nissan Leaf

The rest are only offered where it is required

Oh yeah that too

The leaf

Chevy Bolt

meanwhile Europe is drawing closer and closer to banning ICE

But yeah, outside of the cities in the US, hybrid tech is the future

Honestly as sad as it makes me I don't think there will be pure ICE cars on sale in 15 years

Closer and closer

But still havent even introduced a bill

Or a plan

well they sort of have

And you are right

The future is hybrids

the EU have "emissions" requirements for the long term

Which actually make sense

which are nearly impossible to meet

hence all the companies cheating them

They will eventually either back off or strangle their industries

no it's worse

The US already had that dilemma

what's happening is

they're forcing substandard products onto consumers which are overpriced

subsidizing it with tax

and selling it saying "you're helping the world and stopping people dying"

No amount of laws will make electrics popular or profitable

the whole EV and hybrid industry is an affront to capitalism, it's disgusting

It is

Which is why it will crash and probably take whole economies with it. Economics always wins, and it is a sore loser

Winner

Sore winner

Fuck

The supercar manufacturers are using hybrid tech pretty well

well, depends which one

the P1 was hysterical

they basically said it was a "hybrid" when really it was an electric motor to compensate for huge turbo lag
