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.
