Purely depends on your usage…I agree hybrid is more functional than EV, but pure gas is less expensive, less complicated and more reliable. I just don't see hybrid or EV as being competitive with a pure ICE, unless you just like the technology for the sake of liking technology.
ICE cars are almost useless in towns, in cities or basically any short distance driving. EV’s would be better for 99% of those people.
However, we’re here in an enthusiast forum where I would assume 99% care about the driving experience itself and that is where pure EVs have almost nothing to offer at the moment. Driving, is fun, shifting is fun and the moment you have a car that has no shifting or no sound all, all that is left is acceleration… might be fun for a moment or two but I don’t see myself driving around in an EV because ‘it’s fun’…
Anyhow, an EV is more reliable, less expensive in the long run and more competitive than an ICE car as long as we don’t account for long range distances or race tracks in general. But I’m sure EV’s will overcome those issues in the next 10-20 years. Keep in mind that EV are only around for about ~10 years and our ICE development took almost 150 years to get where we’re now.
