It can work for many people.
My first thought was, bugger 45km range isn't much, then I checked and to work and back for me is 19.5km return which for 3 out of 5 days that's all I do, while 1 day a week maybe 100km of driving and a 2nd day of another upto to 100km while on the weekend I may not drive at all or maybe add another 100km if we visit my mother-in-law.

So theoretically I wouldn't use petrol for 3 and maybe 4 days of the week however I also don't have to worry about jumping in and finding out I forgot to plug in the charger or more importantly never have to worry about finding a charging station or sitting in a queue planning a longer trip like an aircraft pilot until the infrastructure is at the stage we deserve if the whole industry can get it's act together.

Ranger has a massive potential customer pool but the pricing of this hybrid has to be right and who wouldn't love a possible 270kW that at least has tennuous connection to a stock XR6T/G6ET
