Both. But I rather fill up anytime for 2 mins than having to plan out my charging and waiting 45 mins. This is my biggest gripe.

The spyware, while a big concern, is secondary to my refueling schedule.

    You're driving a pretty old EV at this point. EV charging speeds have improved significantly. Also there are PHEVs now, why not split the difference?

    I have no idea what PHEV means. Sorry.

    Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle. Sometimes called "Extended Range Electric Vehicles". TLDR: has a smallish battery you can plug in and charge that gives you something like 30 to 50 miles of range. Then a gas engine to use when the battery is low.

    It's a good option for anyone who has limited daily driving and the ability to charge overnight. Sadly they're pretty rare. People will complain about "paying for 2 drivetrains" but cost-wise and feature-wise they make a lot of sense for people with occasional needs to drive longer distances.

    If you search on cars.com it's a filter option under "fuel type". For my zip code there's currently 3.9K hybrid, 2.4K electric and only 19(!) plug-in hybrid listed.

  • Extended range electric vehicles are not the same as PHEVs. EREVs have a single drive train, which is all electric, with a gasoline generator that can charge the battery while still driving as a secondary energy source. They can get ranges that exceed regular ICE vehicles even.

    Plugin Hybrid Electric Vehicle. it has a gas engine and an ev motor. the ev gets charged through regenerating breaking our through a charger. you get the best of both worlds.

    You sure have strong opinions for someone who knows almost nothing about the topic

    What were you driving, a 2013 Bolt?

    EVs charge at 200kW now, not 40.

    I have one of those and it happily does 250 kW at supported chargers. Takes me 20 minutes or so to go from 15% to 80%.

    Did you even read your own source? This is literally the next fucking line down from your disingenuously-cropped table.
