A coworker of mine has been commuting ~3 days a week (35km one ways distance) in his EV that has about 230km usable range. Sure a shorter range would technically suffice but it's nice to not have to charge each day (since he can't do that at home and uses a public charge points near his gym). That comes down to roughly charging 1-2 times a week which is no hassle at all and doesn't require a secondary drive train with all it's complexity and maintenance cost. Hybrid sales are way down here in Germany (relative to EV and the whole market) and they won't come back I think.
