    Really depends, had a plugin hybrid.

    The use case for phev versus hev is pretty narrow. the added battery weight and space was significant.

    Plugin part was great for a daily commute of under 10 miles (had ~20 mile ev range) but with ~50 mpg, that was saving less than a gallon a week.

    And on longer trips the added weight was dead weight. That let me take less stuff when i needed to take stuff.

    Maybe they engineered the ones your looking at better, but that was my experience. For me its a choice between pure EV or HEV.

    Good luck.
