A PHEV (plugin hybrid) with the batteries under the rear seats would be a neat 86.

But its still fairly heavy and expensive, just not quite as much as a full EV.

Full hybrid design is a bit cheaper and lighter, with still providing a very slight amount of EV only use.

A mild hybrid is potentially the pick of the bunch for affordability, being the lightest and least expensive. However it has the least amount of battery performance - but perhaps enough to make the drive more enjoyable without sucking the life out of the chassis with weight gain.
