are cheap (plug-in?) hybrids an option these days?
I would be quite happy doing most of my day to day electric but I usually every few weeks I need to drive a long way to another site. Usually both legs in a day, and usually with no charging infra at the far end.
It sucks for fuel economy to lug around batteries and motors I'm not using, and it sucks for energy efficiency to lug around a combustion engine and fuel I'm not using, but I can't have 2 cars, either.
