Last time I did the calculation, electric didn't even come close to the 
economy of a gasoline car. Hyrbid was much closer.

I think today (many years later) the I could probably make a financial 
case for a hybrid over gasoline, but would have to run the excel 
spreadsheet again if I can find it.

It's marketing and virtue signalling. I find it hilarious when I debate 
climate hysterics that they have an iphone worth 1000 USD and I have a 
button phone worth 50 USD. In addition, I keep mine until it breaks, while 
they somehow find the money to buy a new smart phone every 2-3 years.

Isn't consumption supposed to damage the planet? ;)

Marketing and virtue signalling. Creating a need where there is none.
