I agree with this. I'm looking at a plug in hybrid for my next car. It's a bit more costly up front, but day to day, it should save me so much. Hybrids are better, sure, but plugin hybrids can charge overnight, when we have remarkably low electricity costs where I live, especially overnight, so charging it up is trivial in costs, and it can run a good distance on the battery alone.
If I want to go fast, and have fun, ICE cars and race tracks are things still, I can go do that. In the meantime, there's still a speed limit on the freeway, so while your fuel burning monstrosity can go 200mph+... You can't.
For commuting/daily chores/errands, a plug in hybrid is easily one of the cheapest options available, especially for me, per mile driven (or kilometer, if you're not American).
I still want a weekend/fun car, but for daily driving, plug in hybrid is going to get me there for a lot less.
With the prices of everything going up, it's the only logical choice.
Really depends, had a plugin hybrid.
The use case for phev versus hev is pretty narrow. the added battery weight and space was significant.
Plugin part was great for a daily commute of under 10 miles (had ~20 mile ev range) but with ~50 mpg, that was saving less than a gallon a week.
And on longer trips the added weight was dead weight. That let me take less stuff when i needed to take stuff.
Maybe they engineered the ones your looking at better, but that was my experience. For me its a choice between pure EV or HEV.
Good luck.
The model I'm looking at is ~45 miles (70km) of EV-only range. Electricity where I am drops under 10c/kWh overnight, and the model I'm looking at is a PHEV.
I work from home and only rarely do I have to commute to a job site, 90% of my driving right now is around town and much less than 45 miles total per day. Having the EV charging start when rates drop and stop when they rise again, would be something I would be doing. Since I don't have to drive every day for work, several nights of fairly slow charging would fill the ~ 17 kWh battery, even at 10A on 120V.
So every time I go out, I'd likely be starting with a full charge, and my first 45 ish miles are basically free.
