In Denmark, electric is about 5-10% cheaper with my hybrid compared to gasoline. It also has the convenience that my car can charge at the car park without me doing anything.

Interestingly, the savings from parking fees are a thousandfold more worth it than the gas stuff.

I’m getting downvoted but the truth is In California, hybrids make way more financial sense. For one, the cars themselves are significantly cheaper. With a Tesla, I definitely pay more per mile when you factor in the significantly increased registration and rising electricity costs which will definitely be increasing more after annual wildfires.

I've been pretty happy with my plug in hybrid, you get the convenience of charging at home so most day to day miles are electric with no carbon emissions, but without having to worry about where to charge on road trips.

Yeah that’s what I’ve been thinking about getting for my next car too. I need something that comfortably seats 7 that isn’t 100k. You get some decent local electric range for shuttling around town and with gas as a backup for long excursions into remote areas. Even with a Tesla, it’s still challenging to find reliable charging in some areas.
