Love to have a full EV but my commute takes about 80 miles a day and live in a condo. I bought a hybrid. Works for me.

Hybrid for now. I drive a lot but also go in areas where charging may not be available or not *safe*.

I bought a hybrid because I did not want try and find a charging station here on the east coast.

I work on vehicles for a living, and to say that the price of maintenance is cheaper for electric vehicles is absolutely a lie. First off you can't take your vehicle to anywhere for work, most mechanics do not have the knowledge of how to work or or even have the software to plug into these vehicles, so now your limited to go to a dealer or very expensive shop. Second is electrical systems are crazy as hell, one poor ground could cause the entire vehicle to act crazy, or one bit of corrosion could ruin something very very expensive like a battery. Third is sensors, and they are expensive, can be a nightmare to diag, and hard to get when they commonly fail due to national backorder. We experience these things on modern vehicles, so enjoy when there are no nuts and bolts, and it all requires a electric vehicle tech to even attempt to look at your vehicle.

I favor the plug-in hybrid because I can do my daily city driving all-electric but have no range issue on the longer trips I take several times a year.

I love driving an EV and I’m 50/50 at the moment as I occasionally have to drive to Scotland and N Wales. I know chargers are getting better but on a commute recently I was driving home weather was awful and pulled in the services where 2x EVs where waiting for a charge slot so that would have been 2hrs of my life gone. Personally I think the latest diesels are cleaner than petrol and you can get 5-600 miles on a tank. I can fill up in 4 mins and be on my way.

Hybrid for now. Mine haven’t required any repairs whatsoever since owning it. The wheels and tires never get brake dust and the brakes are hardly used. Hybrids are very cheap to own from my experience.

Yes, Battery get cheaper, but it benefit manufacturer, Not end user

I own both. To be honest Hybrid works better for me because I drive long distances like 250 miles every week and I don’t even have to fill up until I have to come back. My hybrid can go 500 miles until I have to fill up. With my EV I can drive 250 miles or less depending on the hills and how I use my AC and other accessories that I use.

PHEV cars are not sold in Washington state. In neighboring Oregon, dealerships charge $10,000 or more above the MSRP. EVs are much easier to purchase in this state. But, ideally, PHEVs make more sence for short everyday trips.

If/when the electric grid goes down you'll regret it if you own an EV vs owning a hybrid vs a gasoline car or Diesel. EV cars simply aren't tactical and are impractical in my opinion and probably have an overall larger carbon footprint than other options if you really research it.

My next car is fully electric..very soon..

With EV only you couldnt evacuate Florida in a mandatory hurricane emergency evacuation. Plug in or hybrid gives you range and options .

Hybrid, best of both worlds. All cars are already hybrid actually though. They all have a battery onboard already

Hybrid for me since I don't want to run out of battery on a 500 mile trip. Maybe if we find more ways to generate electricity and have more charging stations,electric might be practical. Here in California we can barely produce enough electricity to cool our homes in the summer for fear of blackouts. How reliable are the charging stations? I just read an article where a person was charging their car and ten minutes later the charging unit broke down. That's a heck of a predicament.

The problem with ev cars is the service cost is very expensive for the dealer. If you just buy a 1liter car much better and you can service your self after warranty

Prius all day every day 😁

I currently drive a Ford Fusion Energi (plug in) and love it at 66 mpg. But I am really interested in the Ford Lightning.

The big marketing fail for hybrid is they’ve been positioned as “green” vs highlighting the improved the driving experience where the electric motors provide instant power and torques when you push the petal down. I’m fact many hybrid versions of the same car have more horsepower then the gas only versions.

I don't know if it's worth a hybrid car, if you do many kilometers every month on the highway. For me, for example, doing 2500 km every month, of which 95% are on the highway, it's not very economical if the car is hybrid. at the moment my car (a C-class w205 diesel) is very economical, but I have the problem with the interior space, being a family of 4 people. what could I choose hybrid plug-in or full electric? thank you

Actually hybrid is more sofisticated and thought through than electric technology.

My 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid and I bought new August 2006 was Awesome sold it in 2020 want to get another Toyota Camry Hybrid or Toyota Venza Hybrid or Toyota Hylamder Hybrid with Lithium Ion battery and possible plug in Hybrid Electric Cars don't make sense when driving on long trips across the USA Can't charge a fully electric car in rural America 🇺🇸

I am living in condo. This is no way to buy the electric car, so I choose hybrid

Hybrid for the win… going fully electric is not possible with our current infrastructure

They talk about EVs, like everyone lives in a suburban home, has a charging point waiting for them and a ton of disposable income to afford a new car to start with, if not an EV. Or swaps their cars every 8-10 years.

I made it from the NJ turnpike exit 12 to Niagara falls on one tank of gas in my 2010 Prius, currently have 230,500 miles

While I would dearly love to go all electric, the charging infrastructure and its reliability are just not there yet. In addition, battery technology is still improving so if I had to drop my ICE car today, I would go for a PHEV (as would others -- the new Prius is hard to get a hold of!)

Good video, I prefer the hybrid but "join the green revolution" ? The carbon footprint for making a battery for a non hybrid electric vehicle is more than the use of petrol. This is what I've heard. unfortunately I cannot provide a reference but feel free to do your own research

I think until they improve the electric cars quite a bit more hybrid is the way to go I can still drive my hybrid across country without having to wait for hours at a time to charge it which it has proven it often takes hours just to get to 80%. Then there's finding the charging station that will work with your car they're not all universal. Trips that used to take a few days would probably double in time so you're going to spend more time charging more time on hotels more time eating while you're on the road.

Well in my case, the mixed driving of 30% city and 70% motorways, hybrid is definitely the choice, the only change would probably be the classic hybrid I currently have to the plug in one in a while. However, the charging infrastructure is still bad in the south of Spain, so I am in no hurry for that change...

i've been debating which one to get and hybrid might be my best as i dont drive much just to apts and the store as needed but if i want to go on a rode trip ev is better so i might go hybrid for due to battery placement cost and my income

I like both Hybrid and Electric so Hybrids will only be powered by Renewable Biofuels rather then Finite Toxic Fossil Fuels.

150 years this technology has been out that long 150 years all freight trains and big boats use a Diesel generator and electric motors on the shafts so they don't have to have a huge drive shaft to the electric motors on the boat or the axles

Plug in hybrids are the obvious middle ground that nobody seems to see and in fact seem to be going away sadly.

Volkswagen should have built Diesel-Electric Hybrids

The Tesla network is all over the place, the infrastructure is all there. I have driven over 100,000 miles and no repairs minus tires. By far EVs are better not to mention software that updates and solves any recalls automatically

Go hybrid, so that way you don't have to worry about angry / jealous people unplugging your car.

Thanks for the info I would never have one recommend one either one

who wrote this video? If people wanted to buy a fully electric car then the user should buy a fully electric car. If they want to use a hybrid then it would be natural that they wouldn't mind driving with the help of a gasoline engine. If the countries are going to get rid of hybrids, that would be insane

Electric. Faster than hybrid or gas car. More performance

Hybrid is the way to go, no one ever mentions how much pollution is created making electric batteries.

Stop putting two engines in a car. You need an electric motor and a range extender. That's it. No need for a gas engine and an electric motor. Mazda is on to something.

Hybrid should have more components than ev car. However, the ev is much higher. This is a joke

Hybrid for all usage. Can't use EV, pricey, hours for charging and only 300km of autonomy, ridiculous.

Says a guy who works for the oil company

Based on a horrible EV infrastructure in the US I vote for Hybrid. EVs are really cool if you have $80K to spend on a commuter car that you don't need. The car technology is there but the infrastructure is decades behind the cars. No one ever talks about the millions of charging stations that will be required and the energy (fossil fueled) it will take to power them. How about being forced to take 4 to 6 hour charging breaks when you travel to Chicago or Boise? No one thinks beyond the end of their noses. How about this for a conspiracy theory. The government wants to limit the mobility of the "folks" because that makes them much easier to control. And what about when they tell us a brown out is necessary to conserve energy. We, the folks, will be stranded in our unheated, uncooled houses until "Big Daddy" says its okay to go out. No real scientist in his/her right mind will tell you that solar and wind can replace fossil. It will never happen and they don't even plan on it happening. That's not the goal. If they meant it we would be turning to nuclear like sane people. The technology is there and it is tested and proven.

Hybrid everyday!!

Wow powerful technology 👌

of course fully electric no question

Is a Stirling motor a good Idea for hybrid cars?

The problem is no one want to wait 1 hours if turbo charge is available. Or if not then then 3hrs on a charging station. Problem electric vehicles are too over priced and not much efficient milage and pickup. Depends on country to country On infrastructure. There are not much power stations. And not much infrastructure. Lastly saving the environment doesn't means comprising power, milege and efficiency. Hybrid is better option. No one forcing to buy electric. And the UN is already a failure The 17 agendas of sustainable development are written but no one is interested after it's problem. Petrol car is much cheaper and gives,6 times better milege. No charging tension and enough pickup power. Lack of infrastructure over the world only Germany, France, Japan has developed infrastructure fir EVs and many countries are not interested.

Still Hybrid

once the incentives go away ev will rust on the lots

The world will go bankrupt trying to convert to ev. Use a hybrid till hydro comes out.

Take a Tesla Model 3 Standard vs Long Range for instance. One getting 265 miles and the other getting 353 miles . I really want the long range but until the new tax credits are put in place I'm holding out. Given the current non Tesla charging infrastructure coupled WITH the Tesla charging network road trips and range anxiety is a thing of the past. One could buy an EV that get 200+ miles on a single charge and be fine considering the average daily commute is between 30 to 60 miles and the fact most people can charge at home or at work....or stop one or twice a week at a public charger. Now if your current lifestyle isn't going to work with an all electric vehicle then you might be in the market for a hybrid or at least trade up toban EV when you're ready.

They both suck. Hydrogen cars is the way to go. Lighter and get the longer distances.

Ev

Deceiving cover photo.

100000 miles only, tesla model 3 is made for 1 million miles equals to around 1,6 million km with a single battery. You get even 8 years of powertrain insurance! But in the future batteries should last 30 years in cars and additional 20 years stationary in a house before the battery gets recycled.

Ford revolutionises the electric vehicle Elon musk rages

Ako pynimosa stryjom iz foto celije bice nam voznja jeftina.

NIO

Neither!! Energy independent again is what we're going to be. You're losing deeeeeeeeep state !!! Get that black gold !!!! expose the lie of electrical cars !

There's no fun with a hybrid

That should really be no question any longer.. 20 years ago we could say, that a hybrid might be a good idea because full electric just wasn't there yet. But after 2021, there is no way that anyone any longer could buy a hybrid and use it with pride! It must be 100% electric anything else is useless and foolish !
