Phev the worst of both worlds. All the maintenance of an ice engine and all of the expensive components and weight of an EV.
There is a niche… but a proper ev is just good.

I think the maintenance is far over blown. Outside of engines blowing up in the first 5k and a few noticable models ICE is rock solid. Most cars go well over 100k miles before any major issues. Toyota PHEV s have been just as reliable as everything they do.
Add Iin resource scarcity and adding 600lbs for elimination of the primary reason for adoption challenges is a no brainer IMO. It’s a fantastic transition until batteries don’t suck and infrastructure gets where it needs to be.
