Two Power Systems are Less Expensive than One?

   What's the phrase? Something is wrong with this picture? Yeah, something is out of kilter, and since you've never noticed it, I'll point it out to you.
  Fully electric vehicles cost more than hybrids. Here's what's wrong with that: You have to put both an electric motor (plus the battery pack) and an internal combustion engine into a hybrid. But it only takes an electric motor (plus said battery pack) for an electric vehicle.
  What's up with that? How are two systems less expensive than one?
  Yes, one does wonder if the car manufacturers go out of their way to make EVs more expensive. Let's not forget that in the 1990s, they removed EVs from the market (literally junking them) and introduced hybrids in their place.
