PHEV is nice (my wife has one) but it adds mechanical complication to the car. I still like it and only rarely need the gas engine except to run the heater or if i drive 100km to the Big City.

I agree they're a trade-off, but they're a necessary middle-step in the process of getting off of carbon fuels while the battery industry develops enough to fully convert the rest of the auto industry.

I'd rather see every passenger-vehicle made after 2020 be a PHEV than a handful of guys driving around in Teslas and Lightnings with bloated batteries while 95% of new cars on the road are still gas-burners.
