And I'm of the opinion that PHEV is more environmentally friendly anyway.

I get my 40 miles electric per day (well charge), and I minimize the amount of sulfuric acid that needs to run through lithium mines since my PHEV has 1/5th the battery of a Tesla.


These Lithium mines are incredibly dirty from an environmental point of view. I hope that Toyota can reach solid state batteries sooner, but for now we need to minimize Li-ion production
