> Hybrid-electric cars are an engineering abomination. No they're not. You have to take any type of innovation in context. Hybrid-electric is actually better for the environment, if implemented correctly. Why? Because the average daily commute is between 25 and 40 miles (40 to 60 kilometers), depending on where you live; which means a good hybrid-electric could use just electric for most of its total mileage, and occasionally an ICE for longer trips (weekends). You would need much less battery capacity to enable a bigger eco-friendly fleet of cars.
