I know your comment is tongue-in-cheek but ha! I don't know about that. The Prius, even if it's just a hybrid, probably led to more aggregate fuel/carbon emission savings than every (non-tesla/chinese manufacturers) EV model combined.

"Old school" manufacturers like BMW and VW may look like they are doing better because of the dozens of models they've released but the actual sales numbers are so tiny that their impact is basically 0.

The Prius on the other hand was a massive sales success, and it really was what made hybrids a thing.
