If the powers that be worked to develop interest in hybrids, you would see far more support.
How much did it cost you the last time you replaced your car engine and disposed of the old one? In the last 40+ years that I have owned cars it has cost me exactly $0, which is how much I expect to spend to replace and dispose of EV batteries as well.
