Sales of Hybrid Vehicles Hit Record High in the U.S. in 2021
We’ve heard this song before, in fact every year for nearly a decade now. There’s a ton of talk in the industry about this or that new electric model, and this or that automaker making a big announcement concerning investments and targets for transitioning to electric mobility.
In some areas, especially in the U.S. or in remote areas, the lack of sufficient charging infrastructure is another concern for many buyers, as is the range. “Hybrids offer a really interesting mix of fuel economy performance without some of the huge drawbacks of electric vehicles,” said Brett Smith, technology director at the Center for Automotive Research.
"We hope to increase our hybrid sales of our core products, CR-V and Accord, substantially in the coming years as we prepare for battery electric vehicles," Dave Gardner, executive vice president at Honda, told Reuters.
