And to higher car insurance costs. The parts for EVs take forever to get along with being very expensive then the insurance has to pay for rental cars it's the reason rates jumped the last two years Tesla!

Thing is a hybrid misses out on a lot of the advantages of an EV— not as fun to drive, still have all the maintenance of an ICE, etc. — but in return you never have to worry about range.

I actually think EVs are more convenient than gas cars most of the time because you never have to fill them up.

Road trips longer than their range where you don’t want to stop for 15 minutes are when they become inconvenient but for us that’s pretty rare.

I get 500 miles on a tank of gas w my hybrid, about 12 gallons. I’m happy.
