- fignews 6y agoNot going to back that up? Look I prefer a BEV too but if you only drive a few miles every day it doesn’t make sense ecologically or financially to be lugging around a huge battery. Additionally a person might opt for a PHEV instead of BEV+ICE to meet all of their needs.
- N1H1L 6y agoThe fuel for the PHEV still needs to be extracted, processed and burnt. It's not non-existent. Secondly, the weight and complexity of a PHEV is comparable if not more than a pure BEV. So when it comes to lugging around stuff, PHEVs are absolutely not the answer too. The answer probably is a BEV with a smaller battery.
