Or if you don't have a daily commute at all. Perfect for those who could switch to the occasional taxi or rental but stick to owning a car due to cultural inertia, perfect as that fallback family car that only gets used when the family fleet is fully saturated, perfect for the plugin hybrid that never gets plugged in due to the inconvenience of keeping two kinds of energy storage stocked.
