PHEV fits the ideal use case of short commute to work every day on EV, and a weekend trip to national park/resort city 400 miles away.

but the downside is maintenance of ICE engine and transmission and all consumables

IMO, EVs fit this use case just fine. There are plenty of chargers; it's not a big deal.
