I've enjoyed my PHEV for almost 8 years now and I'm looking forward to my next car sometime in the next few years being full EV.

I really think PHEV is a good intermediate step for most suburbanite Americans. They can do 99% of their driving on electricity while still retaining the ability to do longer trips without extended stops, when needed. It is still progress.
Yep, I've driven the vast majority of my miles on electricity. The only thing I dislike is the complexity of having both internal combustion and electric which means more things can potentially go wrong. Thankfully it's been trouble free, but I do have to get the oil changed every couple of years.
I may go with another PHEV, but they tend to be more expensive and there isn't as much of a selection.
I love my EV but I also need the ability to complete a 700km round trip on a very regular basis and presently the electric options aren’t suitable.
But they’re coming, and I would like to buy one.
They may not have a choice soon.
Soon people will have to go out of their way to acquire gasoline options.
Unfortunately, not in the US. They are headed backwards.
