    you can re-fuel it without having to find a dedicated charging spot

    Really? Does it rain gas from the sky in your area?

    compared to EVs they are far more repairable.

    No they’re not.

      Ive been fixing and repairing the same 04 Ford Focus for over 6 years. Its been legally totaled over 6 times, if you can find a hybrid that would be as easy to repair I’d love to see it.

      Yes you can re-fuel it, ever heard of a gas can? While you’re waiting for your EV to charge on the side of the road I’m already off driving. I should have specified old dumb cars are more repairable.

        So people just leave full gas cans all over the place in your area?

        While you’re waiting for your EV to charge on the side of the road I’m already off driving.

        An EV charges nearly as quickly as you can fill up yours with gas…

          As an owner of a plug-in hybrid this is patently incorrect. Most electric car owners have at most of 240 volt outlet (in the US), which while can fill your battery in a few hours from home, still falls short of the half hour round trip to gas station and back. Maybe with time our infrastructure and technology will get to that point though.
