Rob, not sure where you get the idea that start/stop is considered hybrid.
Also Scotland's regional govt has promised to stop sales by 2032, which is strange as we are still one country! But mainly it's a headline grabber and smokescreen to cover inaction on urban air pollution. We promise that some government in the future will do something drastic about it. But the ICE is certainly extremely inefficient and unsuitable for urban areas and expect bans in major cities within 10 years.
