    I got myself a plug-in hybrid for that very reason - but I am single. I would think a couple with kids would probably prefer a dual vehicle setup where one is long range (hybrid potentially counts) and the other one a cheap EV for running daily errands.

    Right now, batteries are so expensive that they eclipse the weirdness of having two separate engines in a car. I would think we’ll soon see much cheaper batteries, and then the cheap EV will potentially end up being a lot cheaper than a hybrid.
