Kind of an aside but I've had similar thoughts as well - I am not taking any kind of stance on whether this is right/wrong but there are states like CA that are trying to move towards complete elimination of gas-powered vehicles in the next few decades, so that is a consideration too. I expect that becomes more common. I will not switch to electric because AFAIK there are no "dumb" electric cars, and I don't have easy access to any kind of charging station.
- Ancapistani 2y agoI really want a PHEV, and will probably have one in 2-3 years. I won't be buying one, though - I'll be retrofitting my existing 2000 Jeep Wrangler, even if I have to design and build the whole thing from scratch. I like the technology. It makes a ton of sense for my use case. The support network isn't quite there yet in my area, but I can probably make do with a PHEV for myself and a ICE or hybrid for my wife for a decade at least. I don't typically drive my vehicle far or often, but when I do it's critical that I have access to it. I'm really hoping there will either be a "dumb EV" hit the market or ICE conversion kits will become much more mature and popular.
