So that sounds like a business opportunity: quick access to ICE cars for EV
owners who need them on an occasional basis.


Steve has a rather unusual usage need, but I also once needed to drop
everything and travel 150 miles for a funeral.

There are multiple ways of meeting that need, and plug in hybrid is just
one of those.

Very rapid charging.
Swappable batteries.
Hire cars.
Portable generator sets.

Those are all potentially viable options. The fact that they are not
currently available mostly reflects that there isn't a very large EV
pool of customers yet.
