It would need a small battery for peak energy needs, but you get a much lighter vehicle, efficient burn of carbon fuel with more energy going to the tire contact patch vs. waste heat. And no loss of range in the wintertime along with free cabin heat.
This supports the natural slow growth of the electrical grid, doesn’t upset the petrochemical industry, and keeps jet fuel and heating oil at a reasonable price. But what do I know? I'm not a politician...
