IMO hybrids are a transitional product inherently, they are a product full of compromises and are only meaningful to exist up till now because battery tech was expensive and prohibitive. I think it's quite clear now that's not the case anymore, so i'm thinking they'll be phased out very soon.
I agree but only when they have figured out the recharge process. And BEVs may be an interim step toward fuel cell EVs (FCEVs), which use "refillable batteries" in a sense.
