What are the disadvantages to the new Hybrid cars?

I know the advantages, but what are the drawbacks other than charging the battery?

Battery pack replacement cost is $3000-$5000. Last’s like 5 year’s

On long highway trips they run on the engine 100% of the time because the battery isn’t powerful enough so highway mileage is close to regular car.

Made for short distance city commuting.

Extremely high voltage etc. so only a hybrid certified tech. can work on it.
