I think they have a point about hybrids, but only to a point. I think you could make a solid argument for possibly allowing plug-in hybrids with a solid battery-only range (I would say at least 60 miles, a range which almost no current plug-in hybrids reach) for a few years before you get to the point of only allowing electric cars to be sold new to consumers.

so maybe from 2035 to 2042 (something like that), only EV’s and 60+ miles plugin hybrids can be sold new to consumers (the requirement for commercial customers would start at around 2042 or thereabouts). After that, only new cars sold would be EV’s. That would be my preferred timeframe.
