That’s some pretty tortured logic. The time for hybrids was 10, 20 years ago. Now we don’t have much time left to transition. The solution to the battery production capacity problem isn’t going to be to throw up our hands and say “oh well, guess we have to make compromised cars.” The solution is to figure it out and increase battery production radically. 10,000 fold if need be. Nobody is saying it will be easy. Weak solutions with highly polluting smaller engines (yes, small engines pollute much more per mile and even per gallon used) are fine in some cases temporarily for filling some of the gaps but they aren’t going to take us where we need to get to with emission reduction.
