If the auto companies were really more interested in reducing global warming, hybrids make more sense in the short-term than EVs.

However, it has been reported that EVs will, in general, need a cost-prohibitive battery replacements at approximately 100k miles, and this built-in "planned obsolesce" would be great for the auto manufacturers.
I'll be holding on to my gasoline-powered daily driver as long as I can, and my wife's next car will likely be a hybrid, not an EV.
My daily driver gets 25-40 mpg, depending on how much highway driving I do, and has 400-500 mile range. After a 10-minute fill-up it can go another 400-500 miles. Until an EV can do that, it a no go for me.
I've driven from the NY area to Savannah GA in one day (because I have grown to hate airlines) - show me an EV that can do that.
My thinking is also that EVs are just a stop-gap between gasoline-powered and hydrogen-powered cars.
