That's quite a badly written headline and article - are they saying they won't sell new gas cars by 2026 (but still resell 2nd hand ones) or they won't create new gas models by 2026 - I guess the latter.

"Editor‘s note: A previous version of this article stated Audi would stop making gas cars by 2026. Instead, Audi will no longer bring new gas cars to market by 2026. This has been corrected."
Hybrids mostly exist to tick a regulatory box, so a fully electric-only range will be a long time coming without further government intervention.
