Plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) combine a gasoline engine with an electric motor and rechargeable battery. They can be charged from an external power source, allowing for all-electric driving on short trips and switching to hybrid mode for longer journeys. This flexibility helps reduce fuel consumption and emissions while providing the convenience of a traditional vehicle.
Popular plug-in hybrid models include the Toyota Prius Prime, Ford Escape PHEV, and Mazda CX-90 PHEV. PHEVs are ideal for drivers who want to maximize efficiency and minimize their environmental impact without sacrificing range or versatility.
