Since the topic of EV, PHEV, or hybrid has come up recently, thought it was time for a thread about the alternatives to ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicles, in particular for ski trips. Compared to even 2-3 years ago, there are a lot more options in the AWD SUV category.
Do you have a hybrid? Or are you thinking about a new vehicle that has some sort of battery capacity?
Here's my short comment from the other thread:
I love my RAV4 Prime PHEV. Got it in Nov 2020 (long story). Going to drive it to Colorado in Dec. First AWD SUV after two minivans the last 15 years. It has a range of 40 miles EV. I'm getting about 40 MPG when on long trips and I'm only driving it as a hybrid. I don't even bother to bring the charging cord when I leave home.
I'm not quite ready for EV yet, but the Rivian R1S sounds very interesting. Bigger than I need at this point though since it has a third row and can seat 7. EV range is supposed to be just over 300 miles for highway use.
