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.
