My old petrol car consumes 4.5L/100km. New Hybrid EVs consume 4.5L/100km because it takes a lot to move the heavy hybrid system.

Solution: I use public transport a lot unless I can't. That's my hybrid mode of transport.

    Public transport is always king but you are also supposed to plug in the hybrid vehicle.

    Also they're blatantly not comparing like for like.

    For example, the Toyota Yaris has a petrol-only version that get 4.6 to 5.8L/100km, whereas the (non-plugin) hybrid version of the exact same car gets 3.8L/100km, so all this guff about "it takes a lot to move the heavy hybrid system" is clearly FUD.
