Electric vehicles quickly become common, but the concern of consumers is always the same: range. To solve this problem, automobile manufacturers review a surprise solution:** return to the hybrits.

We can summarize the approaches to the range problem of the producers as follows:

  • Due to slow progress of improved battery technology, some manufacturers reevaluate hybrid models
  • The combination of internal combustion engine and electric motor can attract customers who want to travel in longer distances
  • Consumer concerns about pure electric vehicle (BEV) models increase the charm of practic hybrid solutions
  • Plug-in hybrids (PHEV) with built-in properties can be useful to fill the gaps in home charging infrastructure
  • In some market segments, there is a hybrid strategy back in vehicles, especially targeting long distance drivers

In fact, this approach can be seen as a temporary step towards the maturation of electrical technology. Since the range concern has not yet been completely eliminated, and the widespreadization of the charging infrastructure, vehicles using hybrid systems offer a feasible solution during the transition period.

As the battery capacity increases in the future and expands charging networks, pure electric vehicles can become more common. But in today’s reality, ** hybrid technology for producers continues to remain as a practical trust**. Consumers can also benefit from the advantages of hybrids at lower price point and compatible with existing gasoline station infrastructure.

This strategy reflects an approach that takes into account the realistic needs of the transition period, alongside the rapid adoption of electrical tools.
