Hybrid vs. Electric Cars: Why Hybrids Make More Sense - Kelley Blue Book

[CoopersDad]

7. Different cars fit different needs. EVs, PHEVs are both much better than hybrids and ICEs.

First of all, all cars are "disposable" compared to public transit vehicles and all private vehicles have a terrible impact.
EVs create just as much congestion as a gas car or hybrid.
It's sad to see KBB make a sweeping assumption with their headline.

As they say, "Your Mileage May Vary"

The KBB article makes a lot of assumptions that aren't really helpful because every owner has different needs and habits.

I love my Tesla Model 3 that I charge at home, it came after owning and driving:
2007 Prius and a 2012 Volt.
The 2007 Volt battery failed the same time it started burning oil.
Two drive trains in one vehicle = twice the headaches and the car ran 100% on gas.

The Volt was much better, being all electric unless I went beyond the battery-only range.
For basic hybrids like the Prius, ALL of the energy comes from Fossil Fuels.

For total cost of ownership and total impacts on the environment, generalizations aren't helpful.
Your driving habits, the car's range, and your local electric power source "mix" all need to be considered.
