For someone who drives long distances or travels in the Western US, I think hybrids make more sense than EV. I know in Texas I could get an EV but it would extend trips quite a bit and make planning more important in when and where to charge the vehicle. I can't see myself buying a new pure-ICE vehicle again right now. The mechanical advantages of the e-CVT are too nifty, the mileage benefits too great, for me to think of spending $40k on a car just to have more "fun horsepower". Mazda/Toyota hybrids and the Ford Maverick are on my shortlist if the time comes for me to replace my paid-off car.
