I'm finding it really hard to justify even the best hybrid.
Gas over here is currently 2€/litre. Looking at my current market rate electricity price, it's 1.15c/kWh.
Let's pretend your $25k hybrid uses 3l/100km. That's 6€/100km.
And let's take the most power hungry hunk of metal they attached an EV drivetrain into and it needs 25kWh/100km. That's about 0.30€/100km.
The electricity price would have to go up 25-30x permanently for an hybrid to be cost effective per driven km.
I didn't even take into account the fact that for many EV brands the required maintenance to keep the manufacturer warranty is "swap air filter, update software, maybe fill up the window washing fluid if it's low"
