almost nobody is making Plug-in Hybrids and they cost an absolute fuck ton of money.

The 2024 Prius prime starts at $33k, is a PHEV https://www.kbb.com/phev/best-phev-cars/2024/

BMW, Volvo, Mercedes are also making PHEVs for 2024 model year So are Chrysler, Mazda, Hyundai, Kia, Porsche, Land Rover https://www.autoweek.com/rankings/g45455983/best-plug-in-hybrids/

There are some really expensive ones on that list, but a half-dozen under $45k

Look at the new “Ram Charger” that works like you describe

Yeah a lot of the hybrid offerings in the truck market are really not targeting the budget market at all- some of them seem to reflect automaker bets that truck buyers want more power and don’t want to compromise on towing or range. Other hybrid trucks (looking at you, Toyota) aren’t using their hybrid systems to improve fuel economy, they’re using them to juice performance.

I didn’t know the Prius was a Plug-in now. Last time I looked at them. The Prius only ran the battery under 15 and only a very short distance. Didn’t think they changed that.

$45,000 is still a lot of money. That’s a $750 Monthly payment
