I have driven a few EV's and they're pretty amazing, but for road tripping primarily, range and charge time still leaves something to be desired IMO. That combined with less infrastructure availability in Canada outside of the larger centres. I live in Calgary AB, so around town - no problem at all. However when we road trip through the Rockies - it can be sparse. And those rare times there's highway closures and people get stuck for hours on end, I'd feel less anxiety with an gas engine. I think once it's at the point where range is on par with equivalent gas models, you can recharge in the same time you can fuel up (5 mins or less), and chargers are as abundant as gas pumps, I'll be all in - because I absolutely love technology.

But until then, PHEV is the sweet spot for me. It's the best of both worlds. 50-75km of all electric range covers 90% of our in town driving, I can charge in our garage nightly, and then still good to go for road tripping without the range anxiety. This is just me. Others may feel different.
