I placed this in the Hybrid sub-section of the MTC forums as I'm trying to avoid another Hybrid vs Ecoboost pissing-match thread. This thread is directed toward those that already feel the gas/battery powertrain is the better choice for their normal driving circumstances. And its meant to be read in a tongue-in-cheek yet thought-provoking manner.
The linked article's title is polarizing, but it discusses how the term "Hybrid" may not be the best descriptor and even includes how Toyota Prius history maybe hurting current Hybrid acceptance (slow drivers always holding up traffic, etc).
I sort of like thinking of my future Mavericka as actually a "Self-Charging EV". Of course Ford (and other manufacturers) won't adopt the new term because "Hybrid" is ingrained in current automotive culture...and especially becuase the badges would be longer and therefore slightly more expensive .
