- ianai 3y agoTry living in an apartment in a small town a good drive from a city. I dream everyday of a pure BEV, but the range and charging infrastructure are just not there. Oh and winters and hot summers exist.
- potatochup 3y agoWhat's wrong with hot summers? Energy available in the battery in reases with temperature.
- xnx 3y agoUsing air conditioning cuts range significantly.
- bryanlarsen 3y agoIf they can't plug in at home or at work, why would they consider paying extra for a plug-in hybrid?
- was8309 3y agoi just don't want another gas only car, and so will deal with some inconvenience.
- bryanlarsen 3y agoWhere are you going to plug in, and how often? The Prius is $7,000 cheaper than the Prius Prime; I don't think many would pay the premium for the Prime unless they had a convenient place to plug in.
- pornel 3y agoHybrids don’t support fast charging, and need to be plugged in way more frequently to stay on the electric powertrain (regen is only a small incremental improvement and not a power source itself, so a hybrid not charged is just a gas-powered car). Hybrids only make sense when you can charge at home. Otherwise it’s better to get a BEV with 10x larger battery, that needs to be plugged in 10 times less often.
