I think the best way to have an EV is as a second household car. For example, a couple that needs 2 cars. Having one gas/hybrid and one EV works perfectly in my opinion. Having only EVs just feel is a bad idea unless you live in a place with a lot of chargers available (which i don’t, south Louisiana).
Again, i live in south louisiana. Our winters are 32° on the worst days, and on those days everything shuts down. Also, thats when the gas car comes into play.
Even then, you’d want the electric only as a gimmick/hobby vehicle. A toyota hybrid is just economical in every way imaginable from manufacturing, to running it on the daily.
I agree. The EV would be a great second vehicle. Personally, i own and drive a 2023 CR-V hybrid and i love it. I cant even imagine how annoying it would be owning an EV only right now.

It’s kind of the opposite. The EV is our primary car & the PHEV is the summer road trip vehicle.
Or just get a plug-in prime and have the best of both worlds in one car? 😂
