No they didn’t…If you look at it from a purely environmental protection / reduction of CO2 perspective they got it right. 8 Hybrids to one full EV and all the combined CO2 that saves.

Look at the billions of EV write-offs happening across the automotive sector right now.

Hybrids are the perfect bridging technology given the crap state of our grid infrastructure and charging network.

There are also geopolitical considerations to factor in here…Over reliance on bad regimes for raw materials for batteries is a problem. Germany ran into this issue with Russia, only it was with natural gas instead of lithium.
