Why do I need to haul around hundreds of lbs/kg of engine, fuel tank, and all the other garbage of an ICE drivetrain when I don't need it? Oh, for the maybe one time in my life when I'll need to drive farther than 300 miles between charging stations? If that ever happens, I'll just rent an ICE car for the day.
Also, a Prius Prime only has about 40 miles of all EV range. Why are you sending me to the gas station to get more range from petroleum extracted from the Earth, dragged hundreds of miles between refining and delivery when I can just plug my car in at home and charge from my solar array instead?
