I think the problem here is making it efficient enough for it to last enough so it doesn’t deplete and then leaves you stranded.
Maybe they’re perfect in cloudless desserts

Probably making it hybrid is an intermediate step closer to 0% gas emissions 2050
and you definitely don’t need to be in a desert
we did the entire US coast to coast in like 8 days

wouldn’t 10 years ago making a brand new hybrid may as well just have created more gas than continuing to use an old car

There’s a reason “reuse” is one of the 3 R’s
But that’s a bad metric because there are genuine reasons that building new cars is good (old ones stay in the hands of their owners more often than not, and accidents and age catch up with every car eventually)

that’ll just create one more cycle rather than actually addressing the problem of buying more cars! they’ll just see that as the norm!
