  • You’ve heard us say many times that PHEVs- plug-in hybrid electrics- rather than BEVs- pure battery electrics- are a sound choice for many folks thinking about owning an electric vehicle. Well, buyers do seem to have gotten the message, as while recent sales of all-electric BEVs are down, PHEVs are suddenly skyrocketing. So, we thought we’d give you a close look at the range of PHEVs that are available today.

    I own both a EV for just short commute around town and a PHEV for long distance. Both are Toyotas. I do prefer driving my EV as a daily driver, nothing like it vs engine providing power, just not as linear and instant torque without any drama.

    We bought a "leftover" 2022 Jeep Summit 4xe in late 2023. With the tax credit and markdowns, it was less than a new conventional 2023 Jeep Grand Chrokee Limited and gets better mileage and way more HP when needed.

    Available my foot. Manufacturers have been asleep at the wheel with PHEVs, completely blind to market demand.
    I'm in the market for one, and every dealership I've visited flat-out tells me they only get a few PHEVs in stock any given year, and are usually snapped up immediately with essentially a bidding war.
    However these same dealerships generally have a notable amount of unsold BEVs... that market was massively overestimated and totally saturated now.
    C'mon manufacturers, get your butts in gear and ramp up production of the PHEVs!

      I'm sorry but he is right. EVs are simply a niche market. PHEVs will work better for mainstream buyers. Personally, I prefer standard hybrids. There is nothing to plug in. That works for me.

    All of these PHEV vehicles would have been great 13 years ago, when the Chevrolet Volt was introduced. IMO, many of these PHEV's are too little, too late. The majority of the people buying these PHEV's could just buy a EV instead.

    Too dangerous. These batteries are rolling bombs. Takes too long to recharge for long distance travel. Don't touch the 240 volt power cord in the rain/snow or standing on the wet ground.

    From a safety standpoint, EV’s are not the way to go. Having two choices of power is better than one. Hybrids are the way to go. Personally I would never buy an EV made by a petulant crybaby billionaire.
