> It's an EV most of the time

Nowhere on the Toyota site did I see anything about range on battery only. Still, I wouldn't mind having one.

I settled for a refurbed Leaf and have only needed an ICE vehicle twice, because of cargo capacity, not range.

Toyota is claiming "up to 52 miles on a full charge" on the recently announced 2026 RAV4 PHEV [1]. For me that would be enough to cover the majority of my trips.

Looks like I was mistaken though and you can't actually buy the 2026 model yet (and the Toyota website still shows the older 2025 model). And as another commenter pointed out, it may not actually be possible to buy the older model either due to insufficient production.

A friend of mine bought one. It ended up being kind of awful. 53mi of range for a 40kwH battery? That's abysmal. Where's all the power going?

He traded it in for a used 2023 Model Y. Does 9-hr road trips all the time. I don't think he's going back.

My refurb had a fresh battery that says I'll get 150 miles if I avoid my normal "enthusiastic" pace.

53mi is weak sauce, but that sounds like the battery was near EOL. I charge mine at home which definitely keeps the wear and tear down.
