With how fast battery tech is moving now. Is it really a smart move to get a hybrid, or is it better to wait 2-3 yrs for electric to pick up

"if you live in Australia" - Steve Corby
MG EV+ - tyre repair kit
Lexus NX - spare tyre? no mention in their eBrochure
Ford Escape - 17inch Mini Spare Wheel
Kia Sorento PHEV - full sized spare
Mitsubishi Outlander - 7 seater has a Space Saver spare (PHEV details unknown)
Toyota Kluger Hybrid - no mention of a spare. perhaps the GX model has the option
for a full sized spare like the RAV4 does, who knows? with an extra row of seats
this may not be an option.
Toyota RAV4 Hybrid - see above re spare.
Volvo XC60 Recharge - no mention of spare in online spec sheet
Havel H6 Hybrid - Tyre Repair kit
"then you need an effing spare tyre" - me

Note the Subaru and Mazda M Hybrid didn't make the grade for obvious reasons as Mr White quoted in a review some time ago don't bother with it

The ford Escape plug in hybrid does not have the turbo charged motor which dies 0 to 100km/hr in 6.5 sec.
it is a non turbo charged atkinson cycle that 0 to 100km/hr in 9.5 seconds.

New kia Niro and Toyota Corolla Cross are the ones in hybrid not plug in. Those are the best.
