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.

Could you negociate a plugging spot for your car with your employer? Then instead of plugging home where it is not possible, you could do it at work. An EV is like a laptop. If you're not using it, plug it.
When you need a car for an occasional long trip, rent one. Hybrids were invented, like range anxiety, to maintain the populace enslaved in the oil consumption moebius cycle.
