   Rav4 Hybrid? Camry? Prius? These aren’t “pure combustion” and don’t require charging, so there’s no excuse basically other than supply and niche preferences like sports cars.

   I don't think it's that counter-intuitive. Yes, you are technically correct that all HEVs harness 100% of their power from the engine just like traditional ICE vehicles do, but beyond that they really don't have any drivetrain similarities, and no one in their right mind is roping them into the same kind of category. On this enthusiast subreddit people are still going to call a Prius Prime as soulless as a regular Prius even though the latter gets 100% of its energy from combustion the same way a Carrera GT does. Like, if you asked someone if a RAV4 hybrid was closer to regular RAV4 or a RAV4 Prime, almost everyone would say it was closer to the Prime. And they'd be right. The only difference between those two is that the Prime has larger batteries and port that you can plug a charger into.

   I live in one of the wealthiest cities of Europe, and I've never seen a Prius newer than a 3rd gen, not even for taxis. With the prices in Europe they were already out of the price range for most people, and honestly they were always considered quite ugly compared to any other similar car.

   DC charging rates near me are routinely $0.79/kWh. If you're on a very tight budget and don't have much time, something like a used high mileage Prius ends up being a better deal.

   And if you want to go green, you would get a full EV. Freaknomics has an episode on virtual signalling of the Prius and how it helped sales.
