this statistic does not account for Tesla loyalists, as three-quarters of Tesla owners indicated that they would continue with EVs.

I have been driving one for years. I only put gas in it on road trips. No need for extra charging time just go. For daily activities I never need to use gas. You’re spreading from speculation, I’m speaking from experience.
Admittedly, they are heavier. You got that bit right. I still got 40mpg on road trips.
I drove a plugin for 2 years daily, it only did 12-13kml without battery and 30km on a charge. Granted it was a Mitsubishi Outlander phev which isnt exactly the greatest car.
So you took your experience with an admittedly bad car and generalized all other cars based on it?
If I buy a Kia I shouldn’t expect it to drive like a Bentley just because they both have an IC engine.
Now youre putting words in my mouth, the Mitsubishi wasnt a bad car, just wasnt great. The problem with plugins is that when operating as an ev its an heavy low performance low range ev and when its operating as an ICE car its a heavy low performance gas guzzling ICE car. sure there are a perfect spot where it makes sense, but it is damn near impossible to balance at that spot. If you want an ev for city driving then buy that and spend a little more time charging when going a long way from home. Or buy a more expensive ev that can go further on a charge and charge quicker. The rangeproblem on evs is near not existing where i live. A better solution if range is a concern would be an ev with a rangeextender like the bmw i3 where you are using the ICE only to charge the battery when necessary and therefore can be much smaller and lighter.
