I would even be happy to have the 252 HP ICE coupled with the 111HP electric motor. That combo would deliver HP in the 300s range.

Wouldn't it be nice if BMW offered a 340e and a 350e with the bigger engines?

Yeah I would too best of both worlds. Its not like BMW couldn't do it either... the b46 in the x5 xdrive40e and the 740e had higher states of tune.

People do buy a lot of Teslas too, assuming they have a second regular vehicle.
Exactly. We are a one car family so I wanted the security of a phev. When I am doing mostly local driving, I get terrific mpg; when I am travelling my mpg is obviously a lot less but still in the 30s. Ultimately, I don't care about mpg; I just want to be able to use the electric motor as much as possible and get in the car pool lanes.

Currently, I have driven 155 miles on 1/8 of a tank or about 1.6 gallons of gasoline.

As of right now, 40 miles of electric range, plus 400-500 miles of ICE range, appear to be quite appealing. Maybe eventually a hybrid with 100 miles of electric range, and 500-600 miles of hydrogen range, can be possible.
Why do you suggest such high range values? I've never owned an ICE vehicle with a range beyond 350~400-miles on a single tank of gas.
