EV out, hybrids in

I have been saying this makes sense for India, too. pure EV = slavery to china

Hybrid conversion kits for existing buses/trucks in India will save us Billions in oil imports. EVs have far fewer parts, great for passenger segment. Even better with home solar. India should master LiFePO (Lithium Iron Phosphate) and Sodium ion batteries.

hybrids may be a good intermediate solution because they are proven in the field and don't require massive change in consumer behavior. EVs have many pluses, except India missed the boat by not focusing on the supply chain. I'd rather India be enslaved by OPEC (what's new?) than by china (a worse bully and now next door too after swallowing tibet).
