Did you consider (for your family car) a Chrysler Pacifica? It's a PHEV minivan with 33mi electric range. Sure not fully EV, but close enough for grocery grabbing and some commutes.

Our 2012 Sienna is doing well and doesn't do too many miles, or I'd have considered upgrading.

Yes. Chrysler has made some very puzzling choices with the hybrid. Like no memory seats. On a $40k+ car. My wife is over a foot shorter than me so that's really weird. Maybe we shouldn't weight that feature so highly but it has very real practical convenience for us.
Yeah, I don't get that. I suppose even on the top-line ($46k) trim it's not there?

Personally, we don't share much - she drives hers, I drive mine and only share duties in the weekend.

With our separate commutes, and a PHEV and and EV we could literally not visit gas stations except on road trips.

Correct. Not on any hybrid, even the 2018, no matter what trim.
