Hybrids are flying off dealer lots...and have been for the past few years (at least the ~40mpg crossovers have been). The limiting factor right now is parts (and was pre-pandemic too, just moreso now). As car rental companies tend to take the less desirable cars/configurations, they're just not getting any because manufacturers can sell them for more to the general population.

Non-Tesla (i.e., cheaper) EVs have been in the same boat - the ones that people want just flat out haven't been available in most locations.
