The only reason I drive a PHEV instead of a full EV is because (at least before the pandemic) longer trips were a relatively common occurrence and aside from the much shorter refueling time, gas stations are still much more ubiquitous than EV charging stations, especially in rural areas.
I do hope though that moves like this drive the deployment of more charging stations and that we'll continue to see technology that reduce charge times and increase range. For me, I think the tipping point is 500 miles where I would lean towards purchasing a full EV. Critically for me, this range must be sustainable in cold temperatures. I've found with my PHEV that my electric range is sometimes cut nearly in half in the cold.
