With a limited number of all-electric SUVs on the market, it is a great category to consider a PHEV. PHEVs have batteries that can be charged via an external power source, enabling all-electric driving for shorter trips, but with a gas engine to provide power when the battery is drained, or combine with the electric powertrain when more power is needed. For those buyers, a compromise exists in the Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV).
As the automotive landscape moves towards electric vehicles, some consumers are not ready to make the switch or are unable to find an electric car that fits their exact demands.
