    They also have the best of both worlds shoved together, when used in an ideal general case situation. Zero emissions for urban use, emissions limited only on the very occasional when needed, and even then if it has enough stops to call EVs viable, you are going to get a significant reduction in emissions if you plug along the way.

      The combustion engine can always run at optimal rpm for torque and the drivetrain is 100% electric

      A LOT simpler to construct too, it’s basically an EV with a built in generator
