    I dunno. Straight up hybrids are superior to ice vehicles, but plug in hybrids seem super niche.

    I rented a jeep 4xe and the battery only mode would only go about 10-20 miles - I’m not super far from work, but it’s still double that range. And the default software mode was to consume all the battery then only recharge like a normal hybrid (e.g. keeping the battery at basically empty).

    Plus the mileage wasn’t much better because it was lugging around the battery pack.
