Why buy a hybrid over an EV?

Hello all

Firstly I'm going to be honest up front and let you know that I'm a student doing a master's dissertation who needs a bit of help. (I've contacted Chris about posting on this forum previously so this isn't entirely 'cold-calling').

I'm interested in finding out the opinions of EV owners on a number of things - namely why they think people buy EVs and, just as importantly, why they think they don't buy them. I'd be eternally grateful if you'd just generally chip in with your opinions on this. What would really help is if a free flowing discussion could just get started. There is no 'right' answer to this, and if you think what you're about to say is a bit controversial post it anyway - they're usually the best bits from my point of view!

I'd be particularly interested in knowing why people buy hybrids over EVs?

Many thanks for your help on this.
