As an anecdote, I know a handfull of people that exchanged their pricy SUVs for the equivalent PHEV version and where laughing at the fact they where getting roughly 10k of gov kickbacks for doing it, even though they didn't even have anywhere to plug in.
- adgjlsfhk1 3y agosure, but even if that's true when they sell their PHEV in a few years the next buyer will be able to plug it in and save a bunch of gas (and money). The cars we are making now will be around for another 20 years, so making vehicles that can plug in will mean that 10 years from now (as charging proliferates) they will use less and less gasoline.
