That's the correct response. The hybrid's only purpose is as a gateway drug for those who don't realise instantly that an EV is the way to go!

I think that's true of older hybrids, but I'm not sure about some newer plug-ins. I have heard some very good stuff about Toyota's plug-n hybrid, which apparntly runs on electric most of the time, and only cuts the gas motor on when needed, using a nifty new style transmission. That seems a pretty nice compromise between electric operation and range anxiety. The old Prius basically ran on gas most of the time, and didn't get much better mileage than my little gasser, but the latest version looks pretty good if what I read is true.

Toyota invented the concept of "range anxiety" and pushed the concept to promote the sales of its hybrids. Seems like it's still working.
