I'm kinda wondering about that when looking at a hybrid vehicle. Wife and I are considering bucking the trend and moving to BC. Figured looking at a hybrid SUV or sedan may be a good idea considering the price of fuel in BC.
Anything I should know about Hybrids ahead of time? Looking at used, maybe around 2016 onwards.

I have a plug-in hybrid and it's just so awesome. I get around 60-65km on the battery and for me that is enough for almost every day. Of course you have the gas engine for anything over that, so you eliminate the range anxiety. I think I probably use less than half of the amount of gas as I was with a regular ICE vehicle. I can't recommend this enough.
I can't speak to the savings and efficiency of a regular hybrid, but I think it would be decent. I know that driving in hybrid mode for me is better than the pure ICE because you get some benefit of the EV engine, but I couldn't really quantify that for you.
