Could Going Hybrid be the Answer to Better Batteries?

I’ve been saying for some time that the climate movement has made a major tactical mistake by demanding purity in its approach. Rather than embrace hybrid cars as a more environmental-friendly bridge to full EVs, it has attempted to “force” EVs on the market. That strategy has proven faulty because the groundwork required to gain market acceptance hasn’t been laid, and will take many more years to achieve.

In my opinion, zealousness has trumped pragmatism, and it has created unnecessary headwinds.

Using a hybrid as a bridge isn’t only a viable strategy for EVs. Check out today’s post to see how battery technology is also benefiting from the approach, and who is advancing the technology.
