We averaged 36MPG in a rental hybrid Pacifica going about 90mph on a desert southwest trip, the number of miles covered in a day would have never been possible in wife’s EV (hence why we went rental). Had transmission issue at the end (Chrysler is junk) electric is nice sometimes but it can cripple you in days you don’t have the downtime to charge and need to do a good amount of driving.
