I haven't forgiven GM for the Great Streetcar Conspiracy.

Hybrids will need to be the vast majority before EV's become a majority of sales. And since hybrids will cause a huge upset to supply/demand of gasoline.... I dont see hybrids going away in my lifetime.

I don't see ICE 'going away'. Hybrids would cannibalize pure electric sales and impede adoption, while simultaneously propping up the liquid fuel distribution infrastructure.

I would add that the break-even on cost of gas vs cost of electricity(including charge losses) for my volt is around $1.50 in the summer.

At how much per kilowatt hour? Given the variable cost of electricity (5—15¢) that could be 50¢—$!.50 or $1.50—4.50.
The thing about pure electrics is that with a solar microgrid you're freed not only from Big Oil but also Big AC.
