Two weeks ago I rented a BMW X5 that was a plug-in hybrid. I was blown away by the driving feel. But maybe that's to be expected for a BMW vehicle. But I also think it's a really good vehicle from the environmental point of view. It has a battery-only range of 31 miles. The typical daily commute in the US is about 40 miles, if you do that, you'd burn gas for less than 10 miles per day. If you are lucky and can charge at work, then if you commute less than 60 miles per day on electricity only. In other words, you could drive in electric mode 90% of your miles, if not more, and never have any range anxiety.
