I find his comment that EV's are only worth considering if you can charge it at home something I decided myself ages ago.
Absolutely. If you would be dependent on finding public chargers, then I can't see EVs being a good choice for the next few years. OTOH, charging them at home means they are an excellent solution for many/most people's needs
This is the sort of hybrid that makes huge sense
Certainly makes a lot more sense than having a hybrid drive as well as 2 power sources. The only thing that bothers me about hybrids is that you're lugging around a fair amount of complexity and weight for a use case that in reality not many people actually need.
The example here, if it really offers 50 miles electric range, would hardly ever need to fire up the rotary generator for most people. Is it really worth all the complexity to save looking for a charger on your annual holiday?
A huge proportions of homes own more than one car, and to me it makes perfect sense to have an EV for the bulk of local running around, and an ICE vehicle for longer trips.
But that's the great thing, there's a lot of choice around at the moment. We'll all be dead before there won't be any more ICE cars available, and if an EV doesn't suit our needs we don't have to buy one.
