I think the future of electric vehicles is going to be hybrid.
Gas engines have an optimal ‘idle’ speed and is great for giving good gas mileage if you can gear up to cruise at that speed, Electrics are better at Acceleration (and can recover electricity on deceleration!)
i am sorry to have to tell you this but you are dreaming
the purpose of EVs is not
transportation
economy
efficiency
or anything else rational
the purpose of EVs is control
just like the rest of the globull warmist agenda
I have a hybrid. But in February, 2022 Toyota Corolla hybrid LE. If I drive sedately, I can break 60 miles a gallon. Push it up to 80 and it drops to about 40 over time. For a commuting vehicle, for simple errands around town, for road trips where I don’t need to carry a lot, it is a great choice. And so fantastic that I don’t have to worry about recharging, I just fill that small 10 gallon gas tank periodically.
But I am also glad I have a hummer for when I need to do a real driving, off-road, carrying anything, snow.

That is how the current wave really got going (past).
So what happened?
Also curious if anyone has the MPG boost provided by using motor-generators in braking. Would guess it’s very small and more a notional thing than practical.
