We got a plug-in hybrid for my wife last year, and I'm looking to get a used EV in the near future. I had already installed a 220 outlet in the garage for the generator, so it was easy to get an L2 charger hooked up. This year will actually be good for anyone looking for a used EV. A bunch of 2-3 year old leases are ending, and the residual buyout is much higher than the value so they will end up for sale. Most people are afraid of used EV's so the prices are lower than they probably should be. In actuality, most of the batteries will last for 200-300K miles and only lose 10-20% of the range. If you have the ability to charge it at home and you aren't going to road trip very often, it's pretty much a no-brainer.
The plug-in is kind of a dumb idea, but my wife usually can drive to work and back on battery. I think the first month we had it she filled her tank once rather than once a week and the electric bill went up by a tank of gas. Winter was worse since it relies on the engine to heat the car. For people who need a gas tank, the EREV is probably the future, but batteries are coming along so fast that in 5-10 years, you'll fast charge your battery almost as fast as getting gas. They are also getting cheaper so a new EV will end up costing less than an ICE. I've made the life choice to be done with gas engines outside of the generator.
