There is some playing around with an EV that has a gas engine that only recharges it instead of having duel ev and ICE motors. Not sure when those will hit but I rarely buy the first generation of anything. I might one of those, depending on how well they work and the timing of my need vs if/when they hit the market.
I like that idea, even a 5 or 10 gallon tank would be a game changer if it could recharge on the fly and keep you moving. 300 miles becomes.....
Things are changing so rapidly it's hard to keep up but Hybrid is still a good choice, I wanted a Hybrid when I went to buy in late 2022 but got an EV instead. Hybrid would have been a better choice for me about 5% of the time, the rest? EV is cheaper to operate so I went with EV. Especially on a trip where I can charge where a hotel offers complimentary charging.
Toyota was focusing on hybrids back then but I have no idea what direction they are going now. I had a Camry that I had planned on driving several more years but a kid slammed my back bumper into my back seat with his 1970s pickup while I was stopped waiting on someone to turn. His bumper had scratches but they were old and my Camry was toast. He was looking at something in the floor, you think it was a cellphone?
