An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that’s the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

    It’s wild how little you end up actually needing more than 50 mi range. Even in a spread out California city, I rare use the ICE in my Volt

      Volt, nice choice. I wish there were more plug-in hybrids to choose from. Logically 50 miles on battery would suffice for most of my trips.

        PHEV should’ve been the norm with ICE as a rare, overly expensive option. Since 2014 or earlier.
