The series hybrid is still more complexity over a fully battery electric. More weight especially. The density/size/weight trade-off of carrying around a gas generator at all times versus how much additional battery you can add for that same weight and better size (because increased density) kind of generally makes gas generators less desirable than just adding more batteries to a simpler battery electric. I have a ten year old Chevy Volt that I still love and it was a great transitionary option when I bought it ten years ago. I still think it was the right choice for me at the time. At this point, I feel like the age of the series hybrid is already "over", not just because the Volt was discontinued, but because full battery electrics have only gone on to prove their simplicity, what they can do with larger batteries, and everything about the improvements in 10 years of EV development. I wish other people had as an easy of a transition as I had, but I also think that it's better for everyone to just dive in with a full EV rather than a (good for the time, but bad today) compromise like a series hybrid.
