Climate Hoax

Toyota put their eggs in the hybrid market and I think that is the better way to go.   The could see that the EV market was not there.

The Rav4 and Prius plug in hybrids are both rated for about 40 miles on the electric engine. I could run exclusively on it for about 90% of my driving. It would mean very little change in my behavior, plugging in at night, and would even have benefits, it's way faster than a standard Rav4. To the extent people are worried about pollution from cars, and climate change, it seems like these are a much easier sale than full electric. 

I'd consider one of these as my next vehicle way before a full electric even if they had price parity.

Likewise my son in Houston (Oil & Gas) just bought a Volvo plug in.  Same thing, 40 mi on battery can get to and from work no gas.  Also has trip optimization mode to kick in electric at best times to improve mpg.  Is he shooting himself in the foot going plug in, prob not.

Where are you located? Perhaps in a state with a mild climate temperature.

Define mild. In Oklahoma we get the worst of all worlds IMO.
