 Hybrids were supposed to be a way station on the road to electric cars, but something interesting has happened. Customers haven't gone fully electric at the rates expected, with many holding onto hybrids like they're a destination unto themselves, rather than a way station. And the luxury nameplates are responding. Mercedes-Benz will make hybrids like its Mercedes-AMG S63e performance well into the 2030s, the CEO told Bloomberg in May. That's a reversal of a prior plan to sell only EVs by then.
