Plug-in hybrids are more fuel-efficient, they produce far less pollution, and save hundreds of dollars a year in fuel costs because they have a large battery which can be charged by both the engine and an outlet. A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (or PHEV) offers extended electric-only propulsion, combined with the reliability of a backup gasoline engine.ĭrivers can use the electric mode for short trips, and switch to ‘blended’ mode (combined gas/electric) once the battery runs low, or if higher engine performance is needed.
