Can I get some car advice?? [View all]

I'm thinking of getting a 2024 Chevy Equinox EV. Range 300 miles. About $32K .. with a $7500 Fed tax credit and a $2K rebate from my state. No state sales tax.
I like the whole EV concept.
We don't drive long distances much any more...maybe a few trips every year, so that's not a problem.
My other alternative is a Plug-in Prius hybrid. We've had two Prius since 2004, and we love them. The
good part is that it has about 30 miles range on electric, and then the gas engine cuts in. I'd get the advantages of both EV and hybrid.
The down side is that the Prius gets no Fed tax credit and a lower state rebate.
I also wonder about adding the gas-engine complications.... water, oil, drivetrain...
Any advice out there in DU-land?
