Personally, I don't agree with hybrids. We have been using EV's for probably about 100 years now, and we have proven with the now gone EV1 that we were ready for full EV's. Unfortunately, auto makers would rather kiss butt to the oil industry, and the way they can satisfy consumers and oil companies at once? Hybrids. This though, is why I hate Top gear. He constantly bashes the G-Wiz (Also known as the Riva) and clumps it with the majority of EV's today. Who can blame him, though? Nowadays, even smaller companies not affected by the oil companies are selling NEV's that get 40MPH at the most. Consider the Zap Xebra, that has a 6.7 HP motor and will get 40 MPH if it is only having to carry one person. The EV1 and the Rav4 EV went extremely fast and were much more attractive than EV's today.
