The Hyundais use an 800v charge takes 18 min to get the 10to 80% so electric is close I tell people to plug up every time they come home and it’s like 5 when you add it up over the corse of a week

At this point in my life I'd like a plug in hybrid with a 75 mile range that costs the same as a "mild" hybrid. I'm specifically talking about a plug in version of the Honda accord as they already have hybrids (so they wouldn't have to add an electric motor and energy recovery technology cost to their car) only need a somewhat larger battery. I know I'm oversimplifying but it seems doable. Much of my family driving would fall within a 75 mile roundtrip (actually less than 60 but I seem to see most advertised ranges are overly optimistic). I do still make at least a few trips to Florida, Hilton Head and the dreaded New York (deal with it I have family and friends that still live there-LOL) so a gas powered car seems to still be the most hassle free way to travel without recharging worries. Having the electric option would make me worry less with about our less than stellarly reliable Colonial pipeline company and the occasional hurricane related gas shortages. When the big battery goes kaput it would still be driveable and could probably go on from then on without replacing the battery if I chose not to.
This is based on my understanding of currently available technology.

(I can no longer work on them for a living due to a slew of physical issues that has come about in the last couple of years).
I like getting the lowdown and everyone’s opinions on this . I think it is interesting!

Definitely not the same. My sidearm would only ignite if this Happened while driving an EV.
Son-in-law loved his Tesla… ‘til they bought a boat and needed a tow vehicle.
Now he drives a hemi Ram pickup.

The gas in your car would!!! the thing is it is unlikely to happen but if it did from something else it is hard to put out
JUNK! THAT IS ALL!

Every vehicle is ideal in a specific situation. I can think of no instance where an all electric vehicle would be ideal for any of my needs today.
If I lived in an urban core and needed a daily commuter and had other real vehicles, then perhaps. But then I would have bigger issues, like needing to be institutionalized.
