Hybrids were an necessity when large batteries weren't feasable (in the first Leaf, for example, the 24kw battery was about 80% of the cost, it's amazing they could sell it at a profit at all).

Falling prices and increased capacity means that isn't really the case any more, and it's not really worth the complexity of a hybrid.
