    I got my plug-in hybrid about six years ago and haven’t wanted a fully gas-powered car since then. I want a fully-electric car for my next car, but I am disappointed that car companies are barely offering any plug-in hybrids since they fill such a great need by providing a gas tank for longer distances (or if you don’t have access to a charger at that time) and having a smaller battery to reduce resource usage (while fulfilling the complete drive for most days).
