Plug-In Hybrids Are Not The Solution You Think They Are

New research from J.D. Power shows why—despite a lot of hype—PHEVs still aren't taking off.
Plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) are often suggested as a no-compromise solution to electrifying your commute, but the reality is messier than that.
A new study from J.D. Power shows how PHEVs are pricier and less satisfying to buyers.
If you want a plug-in car, you should get an EV. If—for whatever practical or personal reason—you don't want an EV, a traditional hybrid or gas vehicle is likely a better choice.
The argument is simple. Plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) solve infrastructure challenges faced by EVs at a lower price, offering the best parts of the EV and internal combustion experience, a key reason why they're the preferred solution for so many Americans. There's only one problem with this line of reasoning: Every single part of it is wrong. J.D. Power's newest report explains why.
