Excellent point. Obviously, a car that's superior (and actually used) for 85% 
of driving should be considered the primary car -- even if such a car generally 
isn't an option as the only car for a single-car family.

Absolutely, and that's a great deal about what's so exciting right now. We're 
actually at a point where a BEV _can_ be an only car for at least a few people, 
and where it can be the first car -- using your reformulation of my sloppy 
usage -- for the majority. And, we're definitely at the point where an 
almost-always-electric PHEV can be the only, primary, or secondary car for just 
about anybody. Not that long ago, options such as we have today were wishful 
fantasy....
