For hybrids, I drive a Prius and mostly on the highway (70mph speed limit here) and I generally get 40-45mpg. I haven't had anything to wrong with the hybrid side, and it's not a plug-in hybrid. Prices are kinda high for them right now, but I got mine for $10k used about 10 years/90k miles ago (had 60k miles when I got it).

That said, I'm in Utah where winter temps rarely go below 10F, so I have no insight into really could winters.

But yeah, EVs really need to come down in price to make sense for me.

That's great for you, I'm kind of jealous. The Prius is a very good vehicle, either as hybrid or ICE.
