The answer, in my case is: not at all since there are significant practical and economic reasons for me to not have an electric vehicle.

Should conditions change, I will re-look the issues.
I'm much the same. Practically, a 250 mile range would be fine for me since I live in a city, have an 8 mile round trip commute to work etc.

But at the same time I live in a condo complex and would have no where to plug in an electric car and can't install outdoor wiring obviously etc.

Also I like the freedom to take longer trips in my car as well.

So for me the plug-in hybrid is the way to go--once I live somewhere I have a garage or outdoor outlet to plug into anyway. Then I'd be using only electric on my daily commutes, but have no worries about being able to take longer trips etc.
