That being said, it does not look bad at all!
Our infrastructure is definitely not there yet. I believe that PHEVs are the best answer for now, and hoping to see more options from BMW and other brands. Recently saw that Ram plans to make a PHEV truck (Ramcharger), and that the gas engine only serves as a generator. It’s estimated range of 690 miles is impressive.
