Determining whether hybrids or full EVs are more environmentally friendly depends on various factors such as the source of the electricity used to power the EV and the specific model of hybrid or EV being compared.

That being said, there are studies that have tried to compare the overall environmental impact of hybrids and EVs. One such study conducted by the Union of Concerned Scientists in 2015 found that, on average, EVs produced fewer emissions than hybrids over the course of their lifetime, including the environmental impact of manufacturing and maintenance.

However, the study also noted that the environmental benefits of EVs are highly dependent on the source of the electricity used to charge them. If an EV is charged using electricity generated from renewable sources, such as solar or wind power, its environmental impact is likely to be much lower than if it is charged using electricity generated from fossil fuels.

In terms of driving 10,000 miles per year for 5 years, the environmental impact of each vehicle would depend on factors such as the specific models being compared, the fuel efficiency of the hybrid, and the source of the electricity used to charge the EV. However, if an EV is charged using electricity generated from renewable sources, it is likely to have a much lower environmental impact than a hybrid over the course of 5 years. It is worth noting that the environmental impact of manufacturing and maintaining each vehicle also needs to be taken into account when making this comparison.
