To be honest I haven't done a ton of research into hybrids other than my BIL has a plug-in Volvo hybrid he is very happy with. Also my DIL's dad has a hybrid he is happy with but the thing is a dog. I will stick with ICE as long as they make them. I think this new pronouncement from Brandon and the Tree Huggers will go down in flames like most of them do.
In all fairness @TimW, this is not a political issue for @jmauld, or at least he hasn't brought that side into it in this thread. EVs fit his lifestyle and he likes them. To each his own. This is definitely not the Trump thread.I’m not sure why you have such an attitude here I’m trying to be respectful towards you.
Read this. It’s a fairly politically unbiased sourced.
EPA issues new rules aimed at cutting carbon, boosting EVs and hybrids - Autoblog
New rules will require a smaller proportion of EV sales as the EPA issues carbon-reduction guidance for automakers through 2032.www.autoblog.com

My apologies to you.
We rented a Honda Accord Sport Hybrid in Oahu for the last two weeks. I liked it. Had a ton of power when needed and was quiet as well. A little bumpy, but I imagine because it’s because it’s a Sport. If I didn’t live where I live, I’d consider one for work.
There's more truth to this than known. If/when America is on a single source of energy federal and state revenue and energy becomes better controlled. I see the electrical grid becoming federalized so energy can be rationed - it will become scarce.
I have said this before, but Rush's song Red Barchetta is becoming prophetic rather than fantasy.
