Studies have shown that hybrids have fewer issues than ICE or BEV, though for different reasons. BEVs have new technology issues, and ICE has maintenance issues. Having a mostly understood ICE car that rarely uses the ICE and has the most reliable (battery+motor) part of the BEV makes a better solution short term.

hmmm... looked up current stuff. I didn't know all the issues.

Looks like 5 year reliability: ICE > non-plugin hybrid > pure EV > plugin hybrid

But EVs seem ok 5+ years

I found this article interesting:
