If EVs have a range of 350 Miles minimum under a single charge the purpose of the need for a Hybrid to extend the range is defeated therefore not necessary. Most EVs' drivers have range anxiety and they are afraid that EVs will run of juice in the middle of nowhere and can't find a charger to get the EVs moving to get home, some may even keep a small generator handy in the boot for this emergency recharging if necessary or required.
