These are mostly PHEVs.  I'm looking at the Hyundai Tucson hybrid.

Volvo looks good to me.

Does M-B not do hybrids? They seem to be all-in on EV these days.

While a full hybrid can drive on battery power alone and operate in fuel efficient, zero emissions mode up to 62% of the time on average (due to its powerful battery), a mild hybrid cannot drive on pure battery alone and therefore delivers considerably fewer benefits than a full hybrid.

The "full hydrids" tend to be plug in hybrids (PHEVs).  The cost IMHO is not worth going to PHEV.

Regular hybrids usually excel at city fuel economy because they recover energy in braking.

it also seems that a person would have to drive many many miles in an EV charging at home to break even on the financial equation

especially with gas prices finally dropping
What BEV and what ICEV vehicles are you using as the basis of this economic comparison?

all of them

the upfront cost seems high for electrics, and then insurance
not so sure about trade/resell value / depreciation
