The PHEV kit sounds interesting but I did not get much info on that. It would have a range of 20-25 miles though.

TBH the main benefit for me from a hybrid was the amount of time you could have the engine off when coasting or at stop lights. Steady state cruising you will get the same mileage as a non hybrid. Since we are all psychos and EOC and shut our cars off at lights anyways there's not a huge difference. The benefit with the prius is it does it smoother and you don't have to bake at stop lights since you have electric AC that doesn't need the motor to kick on. But the more you lean into using the AC or EV mode when the engine is off the more awful your mileage.
