They seem like a great compromise, yet many owners don't charge them regularly:
Source is a study of 9000 PHEV cars in europe.
Huh. Crazy. I don't get why they wouldn't just buy a cheaper regular hybrid in that case.
My family actually has 2 PHEVs sharing one 120v charger in the garage, and we still manage to keep both of them fully charged before driving them, nearly 100% of the time.
It's probably a side effect of the government subsidies that make PHEV cheaper than regular cars.
