Car makers are betting on hybrids to offset EV costs

The auto industry is changing direction: more brands are investing in hybrids to respond to a market that is still uncertain about full battery-electric cars. Demand for EVs is growing more slowly than expected, while buyers are looking for lower prices and greater range.

For Italy and Europe, the trend is clear: hybrids remain a practical bridge toward lower-emission mobility. They offer better fuel efficiency, less charging anxiety and faster adoption than a fully electric switch.
