I have a long commute, and there is no charging infrastructure around. I'm still getting an average of 48 mpg (20 km/l) on my 2018 sedan. It makes no sense for me to change now, but I've got a feeling my next car will be fully EV.

Obviously drive your current car as long as you can, but modern (last 4 years or so) have gotten to 300+ mile range, a 150mi commute would be wild

Oh yeah, the commute excludes hybrids, not full EVs. Back when I got this car, EVs ere prohibitively expensive, so i considered a hybrid, buy that was a non starter because I'd end up using the same amount of fuel.

You should always drive an ICE car as long as you can. Or at least sell it to someone who doesn't just dismantle it for parts.
