Today, environmentally conscious drivers are increasingly drawn to the allure of electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrids. When considering hybrid vs. electric, each option offers unique benefits that cater to different needs and preferences. But with both vying for the top spot, a crucial question arises: Which technology has truly captured drivers’ hearts (and wallets)?

Despite dire warnings from analysts and industry players last year, e-bikes are still very much around, and the bubble has yet to show signs of bursting.
