I so badly wanted an EV, but ultimately decided against it in part because of the range limitations. We live in a rural city. The next closest major cities are 2.5 to 3.5 hours drive away at highway speeds. Technically, several EVs could make this drive in ideal conditions, but it’d be stretching it. In the winter, we’d have to charge. Unfortunately, there only a single charger at the ideal range for us. Even the gap between the next two closest chargers is uncomfortably close to max range. We’d likely need to stop a total of 3 times to make these drives. THEN, we’d also need to drive an extra 20-30 minutes at our destination to top off for around town driving. It’s looking like PHEV are going to be the only practical option for the foreseeable future.
