  Having both, ICE and EV tech under the hood means more technology that can fail. Heavier than either, less EV range, possibly no subsidy in some jurisdictions, things like that.

    That's cool in Gartner research theory land, but Prius and hybrid Camrys confirm its nonsense.

        I was referring to the reliability and weight claims. And 72km is still higher than the average US trip distance, and it will kick over to petrol to augment any occasions when you go over that. Its literally the best of both worlds - plug in charging convenience for the bulk of your driving and fast refuelling for the times when you need to do road trips.
