Exactly. Give me something with 150 miles range and a relatively inexpensive battery (like $3k?) and I'll replace my commuter.
I need 500 miles range to replace our family car though since we do road trips with it, and frequently go 400 miles between stops.
Yeah I get that. That's where Plug-in hybrids are a good fit.
Yup, I have a regular hybrid for my commuter and an ICE for our family car, but I'm hoping to switch the commuter to EV and the family car to a plug-in hybrid. That way we'd only really use gas when going on longer trips.
But PHEVs are expensive right now, so I'm watching the market. I do need to upgrade at least one of them though.
