PHEVs only make sense with high battery prices or lack of charging infrastructure.
Once batteries become cheap and abundant an EV with a long range will be a lot cheaper than a PHEV, or even an ICE vehicle. The charging infrastructure will quickly follow demand.

Just the fact that most of the patents that lock modern LFP cells to use in China only expire next month and next April will already cause a shift; I expect LFP will become the dominant chemistry in the coming years.
