You can get a shorter range EV if that fits your needs. Gas engine just adds weight and complexity.
That's good, until you need to take a longer trip. At which point you can either have the extra batteries or a gas engine. There are arguments for either solution.
In that case, it's better to just run a conventional hybrid if you frequently need to take long trips.
Unless you can do most of your day-to-day tasks within the electric range of the PHEV, only needing gas for the infrequent long trips
