This is a stupid question, but why would I buy a plug-in/hybrid that only goes 40 mi on battery only? Is the plug just for show to get the credit?

I have a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4xe and I put gas once in the past year. (Other than a 3 week cross country trip)

I live in NYC and my commute to work is about 30 minutes and around 10 miles each way. I get to work and back in a single charge. Then when I get home I charge my jeep for free because the battery is small enough that the solar charge system I installed in my garage is enough to fully charge it.

So I drive for free everyday and when it's time to go on road trip I have the luxury of a gas engine so don't have to stop every 2 hours in the middle of nowhere and wait hours to charge my EV.

Also my Rubicon is actually a cool fun vehicle,  unlike most other EVs.


Hope that answers your question.
