LiFePo4 batteries have lower energy density than other Lithium Ion batteries and they're more expensive. So while they have much longer life your EV running LiFePo4 is going to have shorter range.

I'd love to be able to get a small lifepo for the city and keep my ICE for longer distances.

I think the real short term answer is a plug in hybrid LiFePo4 where the ICE is basically just a range extender.

I would absolutely take that trade-off. I don't need a lot of range.
