Hybrids are the worst of both worlds in reality. Expensive, not that much more efficient than a gasoline vehicle, far less efficient than an EV---or equally as efficient as an EV when in electric-only mode, but for a fraction of the range. EVs are not a one-size-fits-all, but neither are any other form of vehicle. Pickup trucks are terrible city cars. Subcompact sedans make awful lumber-haulers.

EVs are the future, because they have to be. Gas is finite and there are many MANY ways to make a battery.
