An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that’s the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

    Best of both worlds!

    This is a joke, right? Efficiency is atrocious.

    Hybrid cars were a topic in germany a few years ago. Laws provided funding for them too (grouped as EVs), despite their huge weight and low efficiency. I think it was solved since then?

      The “Best of both worlds!” was the part that should have told you that it was a joke. That and the fact that the statement is purposely ridiculous.

      A hybrid car is a very different beast than a diesel-electric train.
