I had the same opinion until I realized my 540ix was a hybrid and I didn't even know it. No plug in just fill with gas and it charges automatically. It only adds about 11 HP but you really do notice it taking off from a stop.

My buddy bought a Tesla Plaid and took me for a ride. 0-60 in 1.9 seconds. Those EV's got game but I'm still not sold on the whole EV concept.
He was obviously not talking about mild hybrids, but rather full on plug in hybrids and EV's.
Mild hybrids are great tbh, they sort out(kinda) turbo lag, add some additional power, and you still keep that "feel" of a car, what's not to like...
Super fast EV's are a one trick pony and we all know it, after accelerating 50-100 times in it, it gets boring, when you add to that the fact that everything else about them is already boring and dead... you soon understand that they have nothing to offer for a car enthusiast.
