I got to chatting with a woman that was looking to trade in her conventional gas powered F150 for an electric truck but after mentioning the temperature issues with the evs and mentioned that my F150 is a hybrid and talking a little about it i think i talked her out of an ev. I went for it because I was weary of the ev push but wanted something reliable that had good mph and would fit the family comfortably as we drove across country. I don't lose power in the cold and it doesn't cost a fortune to get a new battery.
I think hybrid is the way to go. You can use (usually cheap) electricity for day to day driving, but convert to gas if you need more range. How are you finding it? Any drawbacks?
Gave had the truck for 2 years now, the only draw backs are the same with any conventional gas powered truck. Power and performance is all good. Mpg is fantastic as I can get 28mpg on long cross county trips and a lot of my street driving is electric (I'd say about 20%+)

Right on thanks. Looking at the RAV4 plug-in hybrid. Probably get that for my next vehicle
