  • Tbf, it will eventually start burning the gas. With other similar cars it’s after about a month. It’s not actually cabaple of running 100% electric in perpetuity.

    Additionally your car running in electric still has a lot of dead weight. The gasoline, the engine, the gear box, the muffler, catalytic converters, oil, etc… A similar sized ev would be quite a bit more efficient. It’s why you hear people say don’t go hybrid. Go 100% ev or 100% gas.

    And that doesn’t even touch on the packaging advantages of not going hybrid.

    Still though, interesting information, thanks for sharing.

    Edit, just thought of another disadvantage of hybrid, once you are on the freeway, those tiny hybrid batteries are useless. They are now the dead weight. And As a result, your engine has to work harder to overcome them.
