Issue: Power Train
Why not mild hybrid or hybrid or PHEV?
Because its two worlds fused together in a parallel, complex & maximally nonoptimal architecture.
Literally the worst of both worlds.
I might have considered a Range Extender - a serial architecture with a gas generator charging the battery & pure BEV traction system.
But (sing along with me) mostly not available in North America.
I want a pure BEV.
(Not discounting the harm reduction benefit of Hybrid/PHEV.)
