I like the idea of full electric vehicles, but there is range anxiety, its real!
I like the idea of hybrid, bc it has a combustion motor as backup, but it comes with downsides.
I will likely get an electric powered vehicle one day, but that doesn't mean there aren't downsides.

Oh, absolutely agree. Why drive around with two complete power trains? Stay gas or go full electric. Although, not going to lie, the new 330e X-Drive is really tempting me. Enough range for Monday-Friday. Gas motor would only get used leaving the city.
Once solid state batteries become the norm, and a charge can be done in 5-10 mins, the gas powered cars days are numbered. My next daily will be full electric for sure.
