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.
Yeah the Rav4 prime is looking like a really compelling choice in the daily driver compact crossover world. It's quicker than everything other than the 6 cylinder premium crossovers. Better performance in EV only mode as well than other PHEV crossovers.
