You can drive like a madman everyday without hurting your wallet filling up gas, not to mention close-to-nil maintenance cost of electric cars.

But I think hybrid cars are stupid when it comes to longevity (due to complexity), performance, trunk space and weight so I am fully against the X1 25e as well. Either gas or full electric please, BMW....... just not with the fake insane nostril grills please =(
Right now I don't care about the EVs. Yes, they are superior in some terms and they bring us back to the era before the turbo-engines which I really like. BUT! There is no way to substitute weight with engine power in regards of driving dynamics so I would certainly prefer an ICE car with e-fuels over an EV.

When the weight and charge issue is solved I am all in.
