I'm interested. True that hybrids (plug-in or not) are compromises, having both power sources, but they work for many people in a mixed urban/rural driving profile. Pure BEV is here for increasing numbers of people (Leaf, Bolt, Tesla3...) but Subaru wants to capture outdoor activities. Imagine going to the ski hill or cottage for the day; zero chance to plug in, or else rarely 115V only. This is a good move, because the only other CUV/SUV AWD option seems to be Mitsubishi Outlander. I like this Crosstrek because I might be able to drive to work and back all week on electric only (I'm under 10K), and can go anywhere on weekends.
