It’s not a tupi; plug hybrids are used in real word cases with ICE much more than anticipated. In the EU, fuel consumption monitoring devices are required on new cars. They studied over 10% of all cars sold in 2021 and turns out they use way more fuel, and generate way more CO2, than anybody thought. The gap means that CO2 emissions reduction objectives from transport will be more difficult to reach. Thruth is, we need less cars, not “better” cars.

Regardless of how it is powered, bringing thousands of pounds of steel and plastic everywhere you go to get to work, grocceries or other daily needs, is ineffecient.
But most importantly, it spends about 95% of its life parked. Such as waste of resources and space. I hope actual automatic cars in the future will allow people not connected to public transportation to avoid needing an individual car.
Often parked on prime real estate, or in a sea of wasted spaces that are rarely ever at capacity, sometimes both.
