"Perfect is the enemy of good."
You are unwilling to accept a significant reduction in "dinosaur juice" therefore we still burn about as much of it per day today, as we did 20 years ago[1]. You are not alone in this misguided opinion - which has stunted environmental efforts.
Going from a 300 mile range to a 600+ mile range on the same fuel input is really significant.
Instead, a tiny portion of the population drives an electric vehicle...
> I wasn't "fooled", and this is vaguely insulting.
It was designed to be insulting.
People like yourself with this viewpoint that hybrids are not acceptable are the reason we do not have more hybrids. The tech was already there two decades ago to make all cars hybrids... best of both worlds - significant reduction in emissions, extreme range between "fill ups", and fast turn-around time at the pump. No new infrastructure needed to be built to support a "hybrid revolution".
Instead, we have self-righteous electric vehicle owners touting how their environmental impact has been outsourced and reduced - failing to see the global environmental impact of electric vehicles has been essentially zero for two decades.
