When I was working on my engineering degree (circa 1990) I was chasing ultimate efficiencies and got into a hybrid electric vehicle project as well as an HPV project, but here's the thing -Physics-

It's not disinfo by the oil & gas industry that has clearly fooled... Nope. information on the physics of it all. And until battery energy density and costs change dramatically for the better, the best we can do is leverage the regen of hybrid systems.

Improvements to internal combustion engines have been crazy good, btw. In cylinder injection and thermal efficiencies well over 50% are impressive and relatively cheap. Whereas big-battery EV's are expensive toys that certainly have great utility as cars. IOW, we wouldn't say that GT3-RS's are the solution to future economies, right? I mean you can get one, even with ceramic brakes and all. They can drive you quickly from point A to B and are fun as hell. Therefore GT3-RS's are the future - the only future. and anyone who says differently is just a fool of evil Musk propaganda.
