Latest SHS serial hybrid vehicles the way forward?

[BIRMA]

My wife has run a Hybrid Yaris since 2014 it has been brilliant, we get it serviced just down the road at a pretty good main dealer in Waterlooville who also service my GR Yaris. Time the replace the Hybrid is coming up (100,000 miles near) and my attention has been drawn to some of the latest Chinese SUV's I am convinced the latest series type drive hybrid vehicles are for me, I like the idea of charging overnight then on long journeys rely on the petrol engine to eliminate range anxiety. Four wheel drive is an option on some which I think will suit me. Has anyone run a 4wd serial hybrid for any length of time and what is your opinion of them.

Hybrids are the worst of both worlds. If you have a driveway, just go full electric.

Range anxiety is mainly suffered by people who don't have an EV, but are trying to imagine what it would be like to own one.

Hybrids - of whatever type - are always a compromise. Worst of both worlds. The true way forward is fully electric. If you can charge at home, it's a no brainer.

I saw a video the other day where someone was bragging that they were going to do these first fill up of the PHEV Jaecoo after 5 months.

They would have been better just buying an EV in the first place. If you are taking 5 months to use the fuel up for the times you exceed the 70 odd miles they do on electric then you don’t really need a petrol engine as a backup.
