Hybrids are false flexibility because if the government posts the national guard to close gas stations, hybrids can only go a few miles or less in some cases on electric power. Electrics can charge at home or at friendly places along the way and with long range, but for hybrids, with 2-30 miles of range, it’s not going to help.

At worst a hybrid is basically a gas car with naive virtue signaling. At best it’s a slightly more fuel efficient gas car.
