    Nobody is expecting people to switch ‘overnight’. At best it’s only at 2035 and it will probably be later. With how fast charging infra is going it’s mostly just a behavioural issue.

      It’s not though. There are lots of use cases that electric vehicles are not suitable for (many covered in this thread). Sure there’s people who could switch and don’t out of fear or unwarranted concern but that doesn’t change the fact that they’re simply not feasible for a lot of people currently and PHEV’s are a great middle ground that can still vastly reduce emissions and that’s the goal here isn’t it?

        If there’s a usecase that electric is truly not suitable for at 2035 or even 2040. Then it will be hydrogen or a PHEV with shitty electric range.

        You think all those new phevs will be charged literally every trip? Nah it won’t, people are too lazy for that. If the vastly improved electric in 2035 isn’t good enough then a small ass battery phev won’t do shit either.
