The share of gasoline cars in global vehicle sales fell below 50% for the first time ever as the Hormuz shock and the resulting record-high fuel prices accelerated the previously sluggish shift toward EVs outside China.
The 50% figure is gas-only vehicles. Can anyone explain to me why, outside of culture war bullshit, these even exist anymore? It seems that hybrids are better in nearly every single way, and nearly every single circumstance.
The only thing I can find is lower complexity, since it doesn’t need the electric drive system.

And even then some hybrids use the engine as a generator only and the car is always propelled by the electric motors. It’s always a win imo.
Highest profit margins for manufacturers. Idiots are now paying $75000++ for pickups.
