I know, but my point is that you aren't going to be able to have your cake and eat it too. EV motors add weight and cost (price). Even as they get lighter and cheaper over time. And then even when they are price competitive, you still have 2 motors (combustion and electric) to maintain.

I like the idea of full electric vehicles, but there is range anxiety, its real!

I like the idea of hybrid, bc it has a combustion motor as backup, but it comes with downsides.

I will likely get an electric powered vehicle one day, but that doesn't mean there aren't downsides.
