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
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
that is the best thing ever
Konneigseg and Ferrari are using the F1 hybrid stuff
Like i said, hybrids = the future
