Which is the saintlier drive full-battery or hybrid? Amid a Paris Motor Show where pure-electric vehicles had by far the biggest share of voice, one engineer was making the case for hybrid. This was Gerald Killmann, the top engineer in Europe for that champion of hybrid, Toyota. A company that sells more than half its cars with hybrid petrol engines. A company that has no EVs in the showroom ("But we will have them," he says). And a fuel-cell, which is itself a form of hybrid. Anyway, Killmann"s perspective is interesting. "We see hybrid lasting a long time if the shortage of battery manufacturing carries on like today," he tells TopGear.com.
