I see if you only have one car why you'd go hybrid but 1 ICE, 1 commuter EV for the avg 2 car family ... good combo.

I'm not sure battery prices can drop quickly enough to make a $25k EV with 350-400km of range feasible yet. The Honda e ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_e) had a 35 kwh battery with 210k of range (WTLP testing so very optimistic) so figure a 70kwh battery to get 400km of range? That's $7-9k of battery ( https://www.visualcapitalist.com/vis...atteries-cost/).
