Overview:
Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

They are certainly still better than ICE vehicles, but it could be argued the climate situation is so dire, a 20% reduction is inadequate compared to the more substantial reductions of pure EVs (though even then, we really shouldn't be trying to replace the world's cars 1 to 1 with EV cars, but instead transition to public transport as much as possible, with EV's being useful for areas where public transport may not be viable).
I have a hybrid. I really wish I didn't have to have it, but it's unfortunately the best I can have in my circumstances.
I'd rather not need a car at all, but public transportation is abysmal in my city. I'd rather have an EV over a hybrid, but there are next to no charging spots available to me, and I simply cannot afford a new car, let alone an EV.
The root source of the problem is mismanagement of city resource, and capitalism.
For what it's worth I am working on switching to my e-bike for trips that are possible with it.
If a hybrid is the most viable option in your circumstances, it's still definitely better than a non-hybrid ICE :)
