The reason I drive a hybrid is many of the new vehicles with pure ICE drivetrains run like crap. I keep expecting to pop the hood and find a carburetor feeding the engine. Then add to that a clunky start/stop system. It's all a 1970's Deja Vu.

I see a lot of hybrids when I drive through rural Wisconsin. There aren't too many BEVs on the other hand.
