npub1azknckv754uk29p35ydkes8gqv443ea8470jkqpauf2n6wl5kefq7wlv23 (npub1azk…lv23) we just had a hybrid EV rental for a week on holiday. So slow to get going, the quiet is unnerving and generally not enjoyable to drive. Feels heavy and flimsy all at the same time. Petrol was about half the cost, I see how that would bedraw people in. But the battery makes it heavy and slow, cost 000s to replace and then there's the whole lithium bomb bit. No thanks. If you buy new and replace within about 5 years you'd probably miss the battery replacement problem
