To be fair taxis have unique requirements. Taxis in the UK were like 80% Prius for a long time because they drive very long distances and hybrids are very cost effective for city driving where you're doing a lot of low speed driving and don't have convenient recharging opportunities. But most people aren't in that situation.

Still, I think BYD are kind of killing it.

Those who commute from the suburbs actually save even more as hybrids achieve their lowest consumption going a steady 50-70km/h.

Of course the same people could just get an EV and charge at home, but in terms of cost-effectiveness hybrids still win in this use case.
