I was agreeing that the marketing is off on this model, and what people really want are EVs when they're sold something called an 'electric' vehicle. Otherwise, like you indicated, call it a hybrid. You can like the hybrid all day, but it's going to quickly become an outdated tech once someone gets the right formula for battery capacity and car weight figured out. No one in their right mind will be buying hybrids then, and we may not be that far away from EVs hitting the market that everyone will want and can afford. I simply see hybrids as a placeholder, not an end state.
