For most people, I suspect a plugin hybrid will be the right solution/tradeoff until the technology evolves, or charging infrastructure becomes more prevalent. Being able to do most of your local / day to day driving on electric, but still having access to an ICE and gas refueling for longer range trips, seems like a winning combination for now.
If we care about reducing carbon, we'll probably get more milage out of more walkable cities, expanded public transit, and e-bikes/scooters for local trips.

Completely agree. The best way to solve this issue is to fund or otherwise incentivize alternatives that get cars off of the road entirely. The answer isn't an EV car, although these will help. It's reliable EV light rail/passenger trains.
