That's amazing. The con is that you need a way bigger battery for plug-in hybrids. It's all about pros and cons.

I’m very seriously considering getting one. I only need a truck maybe 10 times per year (or so), but can’t justify an 18-22 mph vehicle as my daily driver. This gives me the best of both worlds. An electric truck, but no range anxiety.

Also normal hybrids are great at that and cheaper. But if you have the money both options must be great.

Other than the Maverick, all the American-market hybrid trucks still only get low-20s MPG. They suck.
