The idea is to cover approx 80% of your usage with electric, with the gasoline covering any longer trips.

That allowed the battery system to be smaller and lighter than the other vehicles available at the time.

Ok something like that wouldn’t work for my area the closest store is 18-20 miles . Be something for more urban areas . I do see the occasional Tesla around but they are mostly weekenders . There are a few charging stations here but the closest one is about 25 miles away . Tesla is building a large charger station in Monticello but then again it’s mostly for the citiots . During winter the area is dead summer I avoid the area like the plague.
