Well-heeled petrolheads might be tempted by a Ferrari SF90 Stradale or McLaren Artura, superfast supercars whose hybrid systems are mostly an attempt to boost the performance of already immensely powerful engines. Those with a more modest budget might look at one of the many models of plug-in hybrids that will go for around 50km (30 miles) before the petrol engine needs to kick in. These hybrids are a cheaper option than full battery power and alleviate the “range anxiety” of electric-only cars. Sales have been surging. However, as my story outlines, https://click.e.economist.com/?qs=9d21462bac65fbe62bedb38e909504189a7b11e9e2f9222b9918134b8f28ca57b8c993240248e5460b89ef9a8ad418f5f556cebfcf064e74 hybrids may have a limited shelf life . As the price of batteries continues to fall and charging infrastructure improves, fully electric cars will become cheaper than hybrids or solely petrol-powered cars to buy and run. Add the experience of near silent, smooth and rapid motoring and pure battery power will win the race even without supercar performance.

Well-heeled petrolheads might be tempted by a Ferrari SF90 Stradale or McLaren Artura, superfast supercars whose hybrid systems are mostly an attempt to boost the performance of already immensely powerful engines. Those with a more modest budget might look at one of the many models of plug-in hybrids that will go for around 50km (30 miles) before the petrol engine needs to kick in. These hybrids are a cheaper option than full battery power and alleviate the “range anxiety” of electric-only cars. Sales have been surging.<br> <br> However, as my story outlines, <a data-linkto="https://" href="https://click.e.economist.com/?qs=9d21462bac65fbe69c5041e9eab4900d2f2f9f6f6ab0dd2195d7e3a0a0af69ef57047c9e0346a9f5868b778b77bb59cb886a4843ea37b7cc" style="text-decoration:none;" title="hybrids may have a limited shelf life">hybrids may have a limited shelf life</a>. As the price of batteries continues to fall and charging infrastructure improves, fully electric cars will become cheaper than hybrids or solely petrol-powered cars to buy and run. Add the experience of near silent, smooth and rapid motoring and pure battery power will win the race even without supercar performance.</p></td></tr></table></td></tr></table><!-- //FULL-WIDTH CONTENT --></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" role="presentation" style="min-width: 100%;
