Today’s show teaches listeners about hybrid cars and why there is too much marketing hype surrounding their true nature—including how they compare to fully electric cars and internal combustion engine vehicles. Hosts Daphne and Fred share their analysis of the article "Why Hybrid Cars Suck" from the Curt Robbins & Associates Technical Writing Agency that was published on September 6, 2024. An excerpt from the article: "When the ICE (internal combustion engine) in a hybrid is running, it suffers a ding to driving range, performance, and economy based on the presence of a heavy unused battery. The inclusion of dual drivetrain techs objectively decreases performance and economy. This is fact, not opinion, so don't allow a slick salesperson or company website to dupe you into thinking otherwise." Curt Robbins & Associates is currently taking on new clients.
