Good points here, but one
Good points here, but one thing to keep in mind is that in the U.S. market the top two selling "affordable" EVs both have gasoline motors on board. I haven't run the numbers this calendar year, but the last time I checked, PHEVs and EREVs were outselling BEVs (battery electric vehicles). The one advantage I see with plug-in EVs is that they offer the best cost per mile for energy. Here in Mass it is cheaper to run a green car on gasoline than it is to run one on electricity. True in Michigan as well, and many other places in the U.S. That's not a theory, we've proven it.
