There's a tension between maximum capacity and average needs. People average around 40 miles a day. Cruising at 60 mph is said to take about 20 hp. But if you can't fill up and sometimes need to drive all day, you want a 500 mile capacity. And if you sometimes need maximum acceleration, or tow or go up hills, you want 300 hp or whatever. The aversion to hybrids by people who think they are just a stepping stone to full electric is illogical in my opinion and will eventually have to change. Because it's the most efficient way to plan for the average and the unusual maximum.
