Hybrid electric-gas cars make some economic and environmental cars sense. Pure electric cars do not. Guess which ones are being phased out? From Eric Peters at ericpetersautos.com:
The only electric cars that make sense are being phased out in favor of those that don’t.
Hybrids are electric cars without the electric car’s gimps – or costs. They can run without burning gas – but when you run out of electricity, you don’t have to wait for a charge to get going again . . . because hybrids carry around their own chargers.
They do have batteries – but they’re smaller and so cost less.
And because they’re used less – hybrids alternate between gas and electric power for propulsion – they last longer. And even if an aging hybrid’s batteries do wear out and won’t hold any charge, you’ll still have more range than a new electric car with a new battery pack.
They also emit less – more on that below.
Naturally, they’ve got to go.
Well, some of them.
