Several years ago, there was a joke meme making the rounds: a Tesla, stopped on the road, with a dead battery. The Tesla was being recharged by a gas engine driven generator. Apparently *that* is the new hotness now, an "extended range EV", which carries a gas engine to recharge the battery, aka, an "EREV".
Must have been many many many years ago. The first hybrid was available in 1901, by Porsche. But assuming you meant in the modern era, the Prius came to market in 1997, so 29 years ago.
The first plug-in hybrid was in 2008, so 18 years ago.
Funny joke. Ha ha.
