ARE HYBRID CARS just a passing FAD?

The only reason hybrid cars exist is to make up for the limited range and power of all-electric vehicles. As the technology behind electric vehicles improves, the need to use gas engines in them will diminish.

Electric and hybrid cars are passing fads. The gas engine is the best thing we have for now, so don't look for it to die in your lifetime. However, you WILL live to see the death of the electric car. It may be revived again in the future, like this time and all the many other times we've tried electric cars in the past, but having nothing but electric cars on the road is in the distant future.
