A pure EV will be better in every respect. Unless you replace the gasoline motor with a generator, having a gasoline engine still necessitates a lot of mechanical parts you can just drop if you have a pure EV. Transmission, exhaust, clutch, gas tank and a lot more. This increases both mechanical complexity (repairs) and cost. Once battery tech gets sufficiently cheap, EVs will blow all the competition out of the water for personal vehicles. At most you'll get EVs with a gasoline-fueled genset for refueling off the grid. But it's more likely you'll just switch to a bigger battery pack for the duration of the few short trips which are incompatible with length and charging infrastructure.
