    How about the 2024 Ford Escape PHEV. 37 mile range on electric, which will cover most of dialy driving, and then it switches to gas. Should work out that you can pay 1/3 cost for fuel most percent of your driving, and not have to worry about long range trips. Base price is like 41k, meaning a used vehicle would drop quick.

    Edit: apparently the 2025 now starts at 38k. So price came down didn’t find range.

      I think the complaint is most people don’t bother using the ‘P’ so it turns into an ICE with extra steps

      I have an older fusion energi and don’t plug it in because charging every day is a hassle.

      I’m not anti-anything though. Clean energy is good, efficiency is good, the luggage space wasted isn’t awesome but whatever. I’m just explaining why I care about range. That’s not a long weekend camping trip and the infrastructure for pure battery in the places I like to be don’t make low range viable.
