Auto makers seem to be willfully missing the point.
Only a small percent of people want a $50K+++ long range electric vehicle and automakers have been almost entirely focused on the most expensive options possible. They are catering to early adopters. This space is much better served by hybrids (or better PHEVs) and the sales numbers prove this out.
The few 100-150mile range EVs are micro-cars, unsuitable for many families.
The marketing on the PHEV has been underwhelming, but IMO the 40-60mile PHEV is likely the ideal combination for most, except that the price tag on these is as a premium car.
We've been through a few rounds of these car choices now and it very much seems like automakers don't want to offer the combinations people want because it would completely destroy their sales on the other models. Want a hybrid F150?, only the top tier model supports this. PHEV RAV4?, top tier model.
Most people have relatively short commutes and occasional longer drives. Keeping primarily in EV mode could have so many people in a 'hybrid 75MPG equivalent' every day and still 35MPG when they go on a road trip and no battery anxiety.
