Right. I’m not sure about the hybrid system working because I haven’t read about it or seen someone tried this but I rather have a lighter more nimble off-roading rig since I don’t off-road with 4 200plus lbs passengers.
Not sure I agree with that. In the USA diesel sales never compared with gas engine sales - ever. They’re usually 10% to 20% of the gas engine sales. That being said, ALL ICE engines are on their way out within 10 years. Chevy reannouned the 3.0 diesel for 2022 but they won’t be making any engines by 2035 - diesel or gas same with Daimler who I think said 2030.
Depends on the use case. For a commuter car with a daily routine, known distances, and know charging locations I'd absolutely take an EV over a hybrid. For an adventure vehicle like a Jeep, running trails, exploring back country roads, and accessing remote locations where towns have 1 gas station and no chargers, I'll take a plug in hybrid over an EV every time. Hiking down the trail with a gas can sucks, hiking down the trail with a generator or a charged battery pack is basically impossible.
