We are often asked: What is better? A Plugin Hybrid EV (PHEV) or an all Battery EV (BEV) with 200+ miles of electric range? The answer is that “They are all good“.
That sounds like a politician’s answer. But, it is true. The best decision is based on your specific situation. How far do you drive every day? Do you have workplace charging? Do you have a second car for extremely long trips (beyond 200 miles)? What is your purchase budget?
An EV with a gas engine (PHEV) is a great solution if you have an average commute. Range anxiety (fear of running out of fuel) is remedied by the gas engine. Drive it like a car. And, save lots of gasoline by plugging in at home and at work. The amount you save (wait for it…) depends on your driving habits. It is virtually certain that you will save money versus a gas guzzler. Sometimes a lot. Sometimes less. But, you will always save.
Do your daily driving habits keep you close to home? Are you lucky enough to have workplace charging? Do you have a second car for long trips? If so, then the BEV is your choice. Your budget will likely help you determine which BEV.
