Yeah okay but almost nobody is making Plug-in Hybrids and they cost an absolute fuck ton of money.
You don’t need the generator for 99% of rides.

BMW, Volvo, Mercedes are also making PHEVs for 2024 model year So are Chrysler, Mazda, Hyundai, Kia, Porsche, Land Rover www.autoweek.com/…/best-plug-in-hybrids/
There are some really expensive ones on that list, but a half-dozen under $45k

I didn’t know the Prius was a Plug-in now. Last time I looked at it. It only ran the battery under 15 and only a very short distance.
$45,000 is still a lot of money. That’s a $750 Monthly payment
