New car - is it crazy to buy a petrol model?

I’m about to buy a new car, Kia Sportage (petrol model), $40k, however a friend is horrified that I would be considering this and not getting at least a hybrid. Seems like the EV’s start at 80k which is out of my budget. Now am worried that my car will be worth $0 in a few years. Appreciate the opinions of Reddit please :-)
