I would like them to factor in people who have a hybrid as a primary vehicle and not just a hobby or me-too showpiece.
I for one had to give up on a hybrid vehicle. In 2007, I purchased a Ford Escape Hybrid, trading in a perfectly good 1999 Chevy Siverado for it. The Silverado had the advantage of being able to transport my spouse’s power wheelchair, but the interior of the Escape lacked the room or access to load it easily in the interior. So I used a carrier on the back, mounted on the Category I hitch I had also included in the purchase. Sometime later, I chose to purchase a small trailer, to carry both the power chair, and an electric scooter, only to discover, there is no legal way to connect the trailer lights to the Escape Hybrid’s electrical system. I ended up trading the Hybrid for a nearly identical Escape with a V6. Fine, I could tow the trailer now.
But the trailer proved awkward for a number of reasons, and besides, spouse had difficulty climbing up into the Escape. So we traded again, this time for a Toyota Sienna minivan, whinch has LOADS of interior room, allowing both the power wheelchair and the electric scooter to be loaded, without use of a trailer OR a carrier on the back.
Upshot, probably will drive the Toyota until the wheels fall off, or it becomes part of the estate, whichever comes first. For sure, NEVER going back to an electric or hybrid vehicle again. They simply cannot handle the chores of a primary family vehicle.
Just curious, why would ANYBODY buy a dog slow hybrid as a “hobby” car?
