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

They were a fantastic idea but:
- too many people never plugged them in, so you just have a slightly heavier ICE car
- they would have been a great transition to full EV, but full EVs are now functional enough for most people (we need to get the volume up to get the price down)
I suppose they’re still right for some people but generally it’s just Toyota looking back to do what they should have been doing ten years ago
