Actually, for in town driving, they still don’t make sense. I work with a guy who live a couple blocks from work. His idea of a journey is a 20 mile drive. He owns a Volvo and fills up maybe once every month or two. At that level of driving, a 1974 Oldsmobile station wagon with a 454 engine is still pretty economical.
Agreed, if you barely use any gasoline in the first place then you are not gonna save a lot on gasoline costs by switching to electric.
