In an ideal world I'd love our car (and everyone else's) to be pure EV; in the current one, we opted for a plug-in hybrid with a decent EV range (~40+ miles) because it allows us to be 100% EV in local driving, but not worry about charging schedule/availability on longer trips. We're a single-car household in the US and we do a lot of camping and wilderness trips; for those there is currently no good EV option. Even if you stage a full charge at the bottom of a mountain, vertical climbs kill your range... and you end up in locations getting a drive-in emergency recharge may be entirely infeasible. I am sad about the complexity of our car. Lift the hood and laugh out loud. But as long as it's reasonably reliable, I would happily pay a serious premium for carbon-neutral gas for the ICE part. 2-3x even. Because then I would sleep easier; and we have the luxury of only burning that in the 5% case. All for the YES-AND.
