What would be great is a PHEV where you could slowly add more batteries over time. Or had the space and vendor support to up the EV only range.



That would be amazing, except the manufacturer incentives to do so are not there :-( I have a Volvo XC60 T8 with an 11.6kWh battery, and apparently their new 18.8kWh battery fits in the same space - but Volvo doesn't support that as an upgrade, because obviously they would rather sell you a new car than a new battery.


Some government required standardisation seems in order.
