Exactly. They were made to check compliance boxes and not be a useful car.

I don’t think you or GP have owned one.

I’m an automotive EE, I’ve had almost all types of vehicles to drive. I really like the Wrangler plug in hybrid. My week to week saw almost zero gas being used, it was like having a full electric and I could still drive wherever I wanted. With 4Low and diff lockers. Loved it!

I drive ~12mi a day, works great for me, but I know it’s not for people with commutes.

Is that 12 miles a day a single commute? i.e. 6 miles each way?

Personally I'd just ride my bike for that and if I was unwilling or unfit to cycle 12 miles a day[1] I'd go with an electric bike.

(That would actually save me time I would otherwise spend training but I realise I am an odd outlier).

1. Not judging here, everyone has their own fitness levels and goals.
