The irony of using a Bolt EV in the accompanying photograph. A car with some of the slowest DC fast charging, and a battery that’s been reduced to 80% capacity for three years by the company who makes it.

Why aren't plug in hybrids getting pushed harder?

Right, they seem like the gateway car to ride people over until a full EV and the charging networks are more competitive. I would love an EV but they just aren't convenient enough for my work travel schedule. A plug-in hybrid would solve that concern and allow for my non-work driving around town to be electric.

I’m very interested in why an ev wouldn’t work for your work travel schedule.

Serious Question: Why can't we just have towable generators so EVs can go from an electric car to a Plugin Hybrid for road trips?

Generators aren't very expensive relatively speaking.

Yet I've never heard not seen this anywhere, and seems like a very easy solution to range anxiety.
