    ICE, hybrids, PHEV, and BEVs all accomplish the same goal, transportation, with different operational scenarios. Some people can adapt and others won't. For me, the reasons in descending order:
    • BEVs are the cheapest to operate from lower fuel costs and maintenance.
    • PHEVs are a short-range BEV with the long distance capabilities on ICE
    • hybrids (Toyota) are twice as efficient per mile as an ICE
    • ICE better than not-ICE
