Hybrids were a nice stepping stone before modern EV tech, but I think they're fundamentally flawed. They're constantly carrying around the weight AND space of both the EV (battery, internal charger, etc) and the ICE (gas, transmission, engine, etc). This means that using either is quite inefficient in terms of total energy used to travel a distance, and neither can be very good. (Limited battery range, weaker engine) They also have to deal with the wear and maintenance of both systems. I would rather just have one or the other.
