   I like that approach for actual utility vehicles. However, if I’m driving cross country with 5 adult humans and their luggage, my Prius just won’t cut it, I need carrying capacity. If I’m driving through mountain passes with hazardous conditions, I need my AWD non-compact (but sub monster sized) SUV. I’d love to do that in an EV, but I need 800+ mile/day range and EV’s just aren’t doing that coast-to-coast. I don’t have 3+ hours/day to sit around charging.

   I have mixed feelings on the topic. I have a PHEV (Prius) for driving around town, almost always in EV mode. I also have a Subaru Forester, actually my second Subaru Forester, the first having been totalled by a 500 pound deer. We use the Subaru for trips, we live in the mountains of Oregon and we need the all wheel drive capability and the higher profile kept us safe when the deer could easily have come through the windshield of a lower profile car. So no regrets on either choice. If you need it, you need it. No need to be ashamed of keeping yourself and your family safe.
