Q Is PHEV better than a hybrid?

Whether a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) is better than a traditional hybrid (HEV) depends on your driving habits and needs. Modern PHEVs can travel between 50-60 miles on electric power alone, which is more than enough for most daily commutes and local trips, significantly reducing fuel consumption and emissions. For longer journeys, the petrol engine provides seamless flexibility, ensuring you can go the distance without range anxiety.

In contrast, traditional hybrids are simpler and often come with a lower upfront cost since they don’t require charging infrastructure. However, they rely more heavily on their petrol engines, making them less efficient and more expensive to run over time compared to PHEVs.
