I'll never get why PHEVs never caught on. They're no more complex than a hybrid and combine the best aspects of both ICE and BEV vehicles. They require no charging infrastructure, and need only a fraction the battery weight of a BEV.
- danans 4y ago> I'll never get why PHEVs never caught on. I think they haven't caught on because at this point, most people who buy EVs have another gasoline-fueled car, or are pure EV enthusiasts. Plugin hybrids are great for 1 car households whose daily drives are within the battery range, but want easy refueling on long trips. But 1 car households are rare in the US. They are also more expensive than their non-plugin versions (at least they were before the IRA tax credits went into effect).
