If you live in a highly congested city, there's no point in having the engine idling just to sit in traffic. Batteries don't consume anything while you're waiting in traffic.

New diesel engines are very smooth in starting an running, so if a hybrid gasser works, sort of, a diesel hybrid is even better.
