You might be right about Hybrids depending on your needs.
I think there's severe downward price pressure on used pure EV's because of the significant mileage gains in the newer models. Who wants last year's EV if this year's model has significantly better range? The huge depreciation on EV's will also drive up the cost of a lease.
Hybrids may be another story. The yearly improvements are there but more incremental so older models may hold their value a bit better.
But from a purely financial standpoint I think it's hard to justify the premium for a Hybrid or EV given today's gas prices. On the other hand, if one is allowed to use the HOV lane on long daily commutes in an EV, that alone might make it worthwhile.
I have friends in CA who were early adopters of Hybrids initially and then pure electric EV cars. They spent several hours a day commuting to and from work on congested freeways. The Hybrid (early on) and later with EV's allowed them to use the HOV lane.
