I have a plug-in hybrid and, although it was not my initial opinion, I came to think that it is the most adapted tech to my usage:

  - I do 90% of my kilometers to commute to work: 2x40km / day

  - I need my car to drive 7 hours roughly 4x or 5x per year
In my case, I can drive electric to commute to work, as I can charge sporadically (can't do it at home).

When driving long distance, I get to use the ICE while charging stations get jammed e.g. on peak traffic weekends. Consumption is much less than pure ICE.

Breaking pads are spared by the magnetic brake as well.

Why not rent a car for those 4-5x/year?
