I would probably skip the pipe dream of finding a plugin hybrid (at least a Toyota). Rare as hens teeth, at least around here. Unless you can wait for a new car and don't mind the $$.
I mentioned in one of your earlier threads about the Kia Niro. I have the pure EV version, bought a '22 a few months ago (about $20k). CPO from a dealer. About 250 miles of range. I know they also have a hybrid version. I'd say if you can find a decent deal on a slightly used EV, that might be your best bet. Gets you into an EV which should meet your needs, especially if you still have another non-EV vehicle for those situations where you want infinite/easy range.
We had great luck with Priuses as well over 10 years. They were super reliable and cheeeeeeap to operate.
Just a thought.
