There is another hybrid category that thankfully has not been pushed in the market enough to also add to the muddying of the EV vs hybrid waters.

A mild or micro hybrid is actually not much of either, but another way for automakers to cheaply squeeze another mpge out of their gas-guzzlers. It usually involves adding a start-stop mechanism to the ice (gas engine) that allows the ice to stop (turn-off) at red lights, and instantly start up again at the green light when the foot is taken off the brake pedal. Turning your own key on and off is about the same thing but the normal ice starter is not designed to last than long for that constant type of use.

I strongly suggest that the public should never rely on the media for anything other than entertainment. To really know some topic, the public should go to people who use that item(s). In this case, to know the pros and cons of EVs, the public should talk to the members at their nearest eaaev.org EAA chapter or EV group or association. Those people are daily drivers and know their stuff without any monetary bias. {brucedp.150m.com}
