If you already have a plugin hybrid and a good portion of your trips is under its EV range, why would you need an EV anyway?


Yes, I feel, may not be correct, that plug-in hybrids are a little underrated. Most have very short ranges, I wish the range could be longer. Rav-4 has the best range that I know of, but they are hard to find and with the newer tax credits hard to justify, as they are not built in the US they don’t qualify for tax credits.

OTOH, I hate oil changes, so that is my personal reason to go full EV since technically they require less routine maintenance as they are simpler.
