I can see how hybrids will probably be a thing for a very long time, for people in very cold and remote places.

But yeah, the EV revolution is a fact. For any country that has proper electric infrastructure and who doesn't have protections for legacy car manufacturers, EV's are cheaper and have lower operating/maintenance costs.

In Canada, the gas model is ~$20,000 the hybrid is ~$30,000 and the electric model is ~$40,000. I keep hearing that EVs are supposed to be cheaper, but I haven't seen it yet.

Due to protection against cheap Chinese cars.

In China, you can get an EV below $10K.

For countries without domestic car manufacturers,.Chinese EV's are by far the cheapest cars to import.
