It is a losing proposition if being done for the money savings.
Many live the tech Eva come with and how quiet they are. Those age good reasons, money savings is not.

Which car comes in both an ICE and EV version?
But yeah, price matters. We looked at a particular Toyota that came in ICE, HEV, and PHEV. ICE and HEV are considerations for us but not the PHEV due to the added price. We calculated we don't make enough short trips to realize any savings from the plug-in feature. But, we'll have to see what it looks like in '26 or '27 when we're ready to buy.
