Lack of infrastructure pushed me into a Jeep Wrangler 4xe PHEV.
About 40km electric range, haven’t purchased gas in weeks. Could still jump on the highway and drive to Mexico tomorrow without finding charge spots on the way. It would burn some gas, but still has all the hybrid things like regen braking and electric boost from a dead stop so it’s much better than a pure ICE vehicle even with a flat battery.
Being a hybrid it will occasionally run the gas engine up to temp in winter to make sure the oil doesn’t get too much condensation in it, and to make sure the fuel isn’t getting too old. Recharges in just about 2h from 0% on a level 2 charger.
The key with a PHEV is to be able to run your daily drives on nearly or completely electric. If you’re going much more than the electric range on a daily basis I’m not sure the math works out.
Maybe the nicest thing is it has ridiculous torque if you floor it. I’ve tried to avoid that kind of shenanigans but 470ft-lb makes it feel pretty zippy on an on ramp or something.
I’m hooked on electric and hopefully the next one won’t need any gas to patch up holes in the EV charging grid.
