Why should I listen to "this guy" ?Lol. I don’t know how that happened.
It’s supposed to read “…according to this guy.”
I don't take Twitter posts seriously no matter who posts them

The Prius is not the same as the new Nissans
The Prius has 2 separate drivetrains one for the electric and one for the gasoline.
The Nissan only has an electric drivetrain. The ICE engine of the Nissan can be tuned to run much more efficiently because it doesn't have to meet variable power demands as the ICE engine in the Prius does.
No it doesn'tA Prius is a hybrid gas electric vehicle. Just like what you describe.
Are you talking about the Nissan Leaf? It is purely electric. It has no ICE. The Chevrolet Bolt had an ICE connected solely to a generator to charge the battery. That might be the model you were thinking about. Unless you were talking about some other Nissan model I'm unaware of.The Prius has parallel drivetrain system that switches between electric and ICE.
The Nisan only has an electric drivetrain and the ICE is not used to power the wheels at all it is only used to charge the battery and because it is only used to charge the battery the engine can be tuned to run more efficiently because it dos not have to supply a variable power output.
You don’t have to, however he’s considered an expert by many. He is a best selling author, so not just a Joe Blow.Why should I listen to "this guy" ?

No.No it doesn't

From Wikipedia's article on hybrid vehicle powertrains:OMG are you this stupid?
Does this fucking car burn gas and also use electrical power? If so it's a fucking hybrid. A "dual powertrain" is not required.
The prime mover in a diesel–electric locomotive is the diesel engine.From Wikipedia's article on hybrid vehicle powertrains:
A diesel–electric powertrain [eg from a locomotive] fails the definition of hybrid because the electric drive transmission directly replaces the mechanical transmission rather than being a supplementary source of motive power.

You missed the point. The definition of hybrid IS that parallel drivetrain. An engine spinning a generator to drive motors spinning the wheels is not a hybrid drivetrain. It's the battery (the use and the charging) that requires that parallel train.A train is not a hybrid. A train does not use a battery for power at any time. A train uses a diesel engine to power electric motors that drive the wheels.
God damn you need to study WTF you're talking about.

The difference matters IDIOT.
The ICE engine of the Nissan E power cars can be tuned to run at almost 60% thermal efficiency because it only has to operate in a very narrow power band.
No hybrid with a parallel drive system can tune the ICE to that efficiency.
Your linked source says you're wrong:I don't give a fuck about the power band, or the thermal efficiency. IF the fucking car uses gas and electricity its a fucking hybrid. Here learn something moron.
A hybrid car has both a gas engine and an electric motor

No shit Sherlock I already mentioned that these cars are not available in the US.The US does not sell any vehicles as you describe. They are either all gas, all electric, or hybrids like the Prius. No electric vehicle has a transmission, so any that has an engine has to have an actual transmission.
