I have owned a Prius Plug in
I have owned a Prius Plug in Hybrid for four years and it is a fine solution. For most local driving it is an electric car and for the occasional road trip, the gasoline engine works fine and is not noticeable. I put more gasoline in my lawnmower than I put in my Plug in Prius. When gasoline is very expensive or is replaced by an expensive alternative, this kind of car will still work.
Plug in cars with more electric range do no use the gasoline engine enough to keep it properly lubricated and the gasoline in the tank spoils because it gets too old.
Carrying around heavy and expensive (and depleted) batteries is not economical and it is not yet practical.
