I'm not even sold on that interpretation either. There's a lot of externalities in the lithium battery industry that are being glossed over in most of those calculations. And gasoline can be made carbon-neutral through synthesis, using either solar or, ideally, waste heat from nuclear power to turn CO2 into gasoline. In that world a hybrid gets the best of both.
The main reason for wanting an all-electric future in my mind is the health benefits of not breathing in combustion byproducts every time you go outside. It's worth it for that.
