There are two issues with what you wrote.

1. Your situation is very far from the average Australian's situation. Most people don't live 100km from their local shops (most also don't drive a Porsche). You said the hybrid battery only covers 50km, which is more than enough for most weekly shopping trips in Australia.

2. Hybrids & EVs are very different vehicles. A hybrid is designed specifically for urban driving that involves frequent stopping. The inertia of a car is huge, so a car travelling 100kph on a highway uses less fuel than one moving from 0kph to 50kph over the same distance. That 0-50 scenario is where a hybrid works best.

An actual EV these days will be able to handle a 200km round trip without any issues, & should be lighter than a similar car with hybrid or ICE engines as theres no need to convert liquid fuel into energy by burning it in a self-contained machine. That ICE engine weighs a lot! Hybrids have 2 different engines, which will never be a light combo.

Maybe take a look at the all-electric Taycan. It's about 100kg lighter than the Taycan 4S that uses a conventional engine, and the range is 400km between charges on the entry level model or 460km on the Plus. It can also charge up to 80% in under 25mins for longer drives.
