Single “fuel” makes no sense ( in a manner of speaking). Not when grid access or cold weather or WHATEVER makes charging a problem.
The flexibility of a plug-in hybrid is hard to beat, plus we could mention some newer technologies on their way to get widespread on ICEs in order to get them further.

Those who believe or justify all-electric are Enemy to man, not friend. For that way is about control of others, not problem-solving.
Electrics have been proven suitable for short-distance routes, but the recharging time and lack of supporting infrastructure renders them unsuitable for a one-size-fits-all approach.
