They can gain a lot in regenerative braking, and the people buying them seem to have infinite amounts of money/credit, so the added cost shouldn't deter buyers(and will more than make up for it in fuel savings). This is something they should do by 2025. Super easy win here.

Agreed, I really don’t get why PHEVs aren’t getting pushed more. They seem like the best of both worlds to me. The battery ranges are somewhere around 30 miles, I think, which would cover most people’s daily commutes. Then for longer trips, you utilize gas.
