  1. Last week I rented a hybrid Jeep Wrangler and drove from Southern California to Tucson Arizona, using Interstate Hwy 8 and 10, temperatures crossing the desert ranged from 105 to 110 Fahrenheit, running the air conditioner the whole way, gas mileage was terrible, I made more fuel stops than I planned for. Hybrids have an ICE engine as well as the EV battery and motor, and they have all the problems an EV's has, plus the maintenance of a ICE engine, it's far more complex than an ICE vehicle. Hybrids don't work well in extreme weather either, it's range was claimed to be about 300 miles, I didn't get any where near that kind of mileage.

  2.  @paulcantrell01451  ~ Sounds about right, I haven't heard much good about Jeeps lately either. But I don't like the complexity of hybrids and all electric powered vehicles with lithium ion batteries, sooner or later that battery will expire and that vehicle will be tossed in a landfill.

  3. I haven't heard that EV batteries were being recycled.
