Study: Hybrids Complement EVs, Driving Diverse Powertrain Demand

A new study suggests that hybrid cars and electric vehicles (EVs) are actually helping each other, not competing.

The study, focusing on the Indian automobile market, found that when hybrid cars are introduced, sales of EVs can increase.

This is because hybrids attract different buyers.

The study points out that in several Indian states, EV sales have increased significantly after the introduction of hybrid vehicles.

This is similar to what has happened in Europe, where hybrids have grown in popularity.

Several car companies in India are offering hybrid options alongside traditional petrol cars.

The study emphasizes that various powertrain options, including hybrids and EVs, will continue to be in demand in the coming years.
