All the disadvantages of an ICE vehicle (emissions, maintenance, fuel cost, etc.) without most of the advantages of EVs (no emissions, lower fuel cost, less moving parts and complexity, etc.). There's a reason lots of EV only manufacturers from China and elsewhere are growing market share very rapidly at the cost of manufacturers still building hybrids and ice vehicles: they are better cars, cheaper to manufacture and you can sell them with nice juicy margins.


Two notable exceptions:

* eAWD is a fantastic enhancement for RWD vehicles that don't handle snow well.

* Having a giant, off-grid battery. Right now, I'm limited by my battery capacity. I either need to add more batteries or install a generator.
