The average electric-only mileage on a hybrid car is 15-30 miles and typically up to 50 miles, so they offer little environmental benefit compared to a pure electric car and as hybrids have a combustion engine there are no cost-of-maintenance savings.

The government recently pushed back the ban on the sale of new combustion engine cars and vans from 2030 to 2035.
