Here in Germany you get a used PHEV (2 years old) with unused and wrapped charging cable. They were never charged and never drove electric. Why? Because our politicians thought exactly like you that PHEVs are awesome, so they allowed financial benefits for them. They are not awesome. You have two power trains, are carrying an unused gasoline engine when driving electric and an unused battery pack when driving with gasoline. You do need oil changes (which you don’t need with BEVs) and other parts of the engine need replacement. And to top it off, PHEVs are mostly huge cars. In my opinion, PHEVs combine the worst parts of both technologies.
Be careful though. I also barely used the brakes with my Renault Zoe. Until the complete braking system had to be replaced due to not being used. Make a hard brake once in a while (and while it’s safe for you and other drivers around you).
