In Tirane, where I live, the exit to the main highway is a busy intersection that links the city to the north and south of the country. It's a crawling traffic off about 10 min.

A bigger concern for me with hybrids has always been the frequent restarts of the engine in stop and go traffic. As you know there's no oil pressure in the first second or so after a start so the amount of time the engine in a hybrid system runs with zero oil pressure is much greater than what a typical engine experiences.
I guess an electrical auxiliary pump takes care of it.
