I think of it as a regular ICE with some added flexibility, rather than a real hybrid. Not sure any other maker has bulletproof electronics, but maybe there are better options.
I wish I were into leasing cars, because--keeping in mind your points--I wouldn't want a longterm commitment with any interim tech car.
The Toyota Rav4 Prime looks kind of interesting. Maybe the Mini Countryman All4 plug-in...
I am really liking the idea of this quasi thing where you have local EV range and a boost to overall gas mileage.
I do not trust the power grid enough where I live to be 100% reliant on an EV. And I like the flexibility of power choice.
