I think folks who rent are broadly less affluent with less dispoasble income than those who own or live in a single family home.

my car is worth half of my house

Our hybrid has enough juice to go about 100 feet after being started.  It's a bit weird at first, you start it and back out with battery and no noise, then after a short while the engine cuts on.  It gets better mpg around town or in the mountains than on a freeway.

If I read the CA mandate correctly, the middle option is viable after 2035, and I think the middle option is a good one for most folks who might want an EV.  You get about 35 miles of all electric range with it.

I looked further into the CA mandate for 2035 and PHEVs are indeed included, so that's a huge dodge around having every new car being magically "nonpolluting" or whatever they claim.  I didn't see where it was defined, so in theory, a car with a small battery like ours and a 110 v plug in to "charge it" would qualify, even if it only goes 100 feet on battery power.  It's a plug in, or capable of being plugged in, though almost no one would bother.

Apparently most folks with real PHEVs rarely plug in now, which is a bit odd.
