A hybrid or PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicles) is simply a glorified gas car - and at the point EVs scale up and are the dominant vehicle, they are dead on arrival.
Battery costs for EVs are dropping faster than expected, as CATL and BYD are producing them for as low as $56/kWh. Over time, this could translate to even cheaper batteries over the coming years and decades.
In May 2015, I experienced my first Tesla ride and "launch" in an original Tesla Roadster. This was the moment that change everything for me in regard to Tesla.
