Ive always felt full electric to be a mistake for this alone Ideal. A hybrid runs on batteries till ya get deep into the throttle or deep into trip so whats the diff?
So go hybrid ADD some range extender batteries and sell your used Hybrid with unused unless emergency ICE to me in 3 years then everyone is happy!

PS. Your EV is not without a massive ecological cost read up on rare earth mining and cadmium, Nickel and such to just get started then move on from there.
I am not opposed to EV just realistic I think we will learn more later on as they become more popular.
I still await my flying car!
what is this?
