Brian Moody, auto expert at Capital One Auto Navigator, says hybrids have evolved from a bridge to EVs into a standalone destination as consumers seek fuel savings without paying $50,000 to $70,000 for a new car. He highlights Toyota controlling roughly half the U.S. hybrid market by sticking to its strategy, while Nissan's e-power series hybrid technology finally arrives in America as the company targets 80% domestic production by 2030.
