Especially if it can go 50 or so miles at up to highway speeds before the battery runs out. It'd almost become a straight EV in town for going to work and running errands. And yeah, be able to drive cross country with minimal stopping. Although that's getting easier and easier to find charging locations that are convenient so that excuse won't last a whole lot longer.
I had an X3 hybrid as a loaner not long ago, but it was discharged and they didn't include anything to plug it in with, so I didn't really get to play with it. I read 17 miles of all electric range, which isn't ideal but is better than nothing. Couldn't find anything about how fast it can go on battery. Maybe a future version would have a little farther range (and higher speed, if it's currently limited).
