Because they cost a fuck load of $$. If you get any minor damage it costs a fuck load of $$$ to fix. The range is limited, it takes a long time to charge even with a "super charger".. The list goes on.

From the post: "Electric vehicles were supposed to be inevitable. Two years ago President Joe Biden climbed behind the wheel of a beefy white electric Hummer to tout his plan to make half of all new cars sold electric by 2030. The following year Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which created a bevy of incentives for drivers to buy electric and for automakers to invest in EVs. That set off a flurry of new projects: EV plants, battery-manufacturing facilities, and mining operations began popping up. By the end of 2022 the situation looked promising: More and more Americans were going electric, and soon everyone would be driving an EV, reducing emissions in the process."

I really like my plug in hybrid and generally it's been a good car. I like having the gas engine for long trips and I can plug it in at night for my work commute.

That said... one time the regenerative breaks got fucked up. The repair was $3000, lmao.

i personally think hybrids are pretty smart. best of both worlds kind of thing. not perfect, but makes way more sense than a battery.
