Unfortunately the infrastructure isn’t there yet to support this in any meaningful capacity.
Charging is relatively slow, locations are still sparse in many places; gasoline still provides a lot of ease for the money.
That said, I’m interested in BEV/gas hybrids like the Prime line of hybrids from Toyota. For me, a Rav4 Prime can do 80% of my commuting on electric alone, but for a longer trip, gas is there.
It’s a great current-times compromise. In and around town is all electric, and the battery size is small enough that charging at home on 120v is still acceptable. I only have 100A service here, so installing another 240V for a dedicated charging point is a huge expense (unless I do a temporary switch with the dryer whenever I need to charge).

If I didn’t already have a kia niro I would 100% be getting a RAV4 prime. 40 miles electric is bomb
