None of your concerns are my concerns, sorry.
We can do 100% of our local driving on electric, maybe 80% of total miles but when we want to go farther, we just go on gasoline. On gasoline we get 50 mpg , want to know why? Because of the regeneration system. When you come to a stop or go down hill you recover much of the gasoline energy need to accelerate to speed or climb the hill by reversing the electric motor into a generator & charging the battery. It take the same amount of fuel to climb a hill and go back down as to travel the same distance on the flat.
