Fair enough. I think this is why hybrids are an evolutionary dead end in cars. GM said the era of the hybrid was already over when they discontinued the Volt in 2019, and I agree with that sentiment. They were a transition technology for a transition that is mostly already past and 2019 is a good enough death date for it to me. (I still drive a 2012 Volt myself, so I lived the transition. I would not recommend to anyone buying in 2023 a hybrid, and I expect my Volt may move on to a second owner for some time, but I would recommend an EV first to anyone that isn't the potential buyer for my car when it is time to sell.)
