That's almost similar as waiting for the latest i-phone. You're thinking why would i get the iphone 13, might as well wait for the 14. The day you get the 14, the 15 is already in progress.

PHEV isn't the future. EV is whether people want to argue the pros and cons of each. The table has been set for the future. They are moving with this EV stuff.

I made several posts in a different thread back in december 2021 and i was debating with a guy and he said EV will slow down in progress as EV's sales will drop, or something along those lines. I said come back to this thread in 2 years and see if you're right, which would be december 2023.

Only 6 months in, he's been proven wrong lol.

Really the only thing, or well 2 things that's stopping an EV takeover NOW, is skepticism and not wanting to pay the initial cost to purchase.

Once these 2 things get eliminated, EVERYONE will jump on board. Each day charging networks multiply and get improved. As the months go by battery technology will be vastly improved. There won't be any excuses in 5+ years.
Well there's three more things that's stopping an EV takeover NOW. 1. Infrastructure 2. Grid capacity 3. World economics. None of these are easily overcome, and can't/won't happen overnight no matter how many lofty targets governments want to put in place.
