To date, we have leased three Chevy Volts. I agree with your analysis of plug-in hybrids. We installed 240 charging at our shop and had 120 at home. Our first was a '13 I leased after I wrecked a sick-fast car I built. I told my wife, I was punishing myself with "three years in the penalty box". Turned out, I loved the car. Our last, and best, was a loaded '17 premium with excellent adaptive cruise control. My wife gave up the keys to her 12-second 2016 SRT Magnum to take that fob from me. We regularly got over 60-miles in range in town with a record of 65. I attribute our extended range to adapting our driving habits to electric efficiency. If you are a "track day" kind of person you develop performance driving skills. I used the same effort to develop electric-car driving skills. The Volt was my wife's daily driver used mostly for around town. We bought gas so seldom the gas motor would come on periodically just to burn some gas getting stale in the tank. But, here was the shocker to me. The Volt was an amazingly good highway car and a good handler. We made numerous trips, like from our home in Las Vegas to San Francisco. The '17 was the best on the road and it was not unusual to get 40 MPG on regular with that car. Another plus, even with tires designed for low rolling residence, the car cornered really well because of the low center of gravity from the battery mass being mounted low in the chassis. We tried to lease a loaded '19 Volt premium when our '17 lease was up. (BTW, leasing these cars are a great option because the leasing company gets the government rebate and payments are very affordable), but we couldn't find one equipped the way we wanted. So I bought her a little gas-powered fun car. Before the Volts, for the past 30-years, we have only bought or leased gas-powered performance cars. Some of them were ridiculous in retrospect. My wife and I currently drive a modest gas sports sedan and sports car. We are waiting for a pure electric or a plug-in hybrid that speaks to us. So far nothing has. Let's see what 2021 brings. As much as I like the rumble of gas power, electricity is the future of transportation. The fact they are so fricking fast, is a bonus.

Why didn’t Edmunds test the long range Model S or Long range Model Y? Just performance editions? Tesla would have topped the lists (like the long range model 3

I am in the market for my first car purchase, and want it to be a plug-in hybrid. I cannot express how helpful this video is. Detailed yet succinct and accessible, and so polished and well edited. I feel like I actually understand some of the basics surrounding EVs now. Thank you so much!

Much appreciation from Canada for simplifying the differences . Thumbs up and subscribed.

I'm having a panic attack. I fear I actually understand the the topic. Thank you Edmunds before I pass ou

This simplified the terms soooo muchhh!! Literally a SAVIOR !

This is an instructional video! 👏🏻👏🏻

Finally a clear and simple explanation of the difference between EVs, HEVs, and PHEVs that even a 70-year old grandma can understand! Thank you so much.

Really well explained. So thorough yet so brief and concise.Take a bow!

Thank you for the clear distinction between the three types of EV’s

Never have I seen a video that makes more sense. Very informative 👍

Thank you for making that switch. Your website has been the go-to non bias breakdown of every make and model car... Cheers Sir!

Loved the simple, and mind opening comparison.

Love the way these three types of cars were explained! Fantastic!

Really simple & fun way to understand... Thanks Mr. Edmunds.

Great video, your explanation was thorough and helpful to understand the differ types of “electrified cars”. Thanks!

I’m in the market for a hybrid and have been looking for info all over, this is the first time I’m understanding exactly how they work thank you

Any thanks Mr Edmund! That was very imformative!

Any first time car buyer should definitely watch this. Dan provides just enough information needed for someone to understand the differentiating parameters and not fall to hyped words by brands.

Great explanation! Thank you for the information. I've been wondering whether I should go for PHEV or EV. This video is really helpful and easy to understand. Just ordered Skoda Superb Estate IV. Thank you!

Thank you so much. I'm trying to buy my first car and I've been pretty overwhelmed with what and how to choose. This video really is helping me narrow it down.

The best explanation of electrified vehicles that I have ever heard and seen. Excellent video presentation.

Very well explained, thanks for that 😀👏👍

Nice clearly explained. Thank you for taking the time.

This is was clear and well produced. Thanks!

Thank you! I am sharing this with my children, extended family, AND on my Newsfeed💡

Finally someone explained me that in regular terms. Thank you so much!!

Wow, excellent video. This is the info that everyone gets confused explained quickly and efficiently. Well done! 👍🏾

Wow! Such a great teacher. Thank you you explaining everything in very relatable terms. My biggest take away is being able to better determine which type of electrified vehicle is better for a persons living and driving situation.

I’m only 4min into the video and it’s so informative! I just subscribed

Thanks. Great explanation.I just rented a Hybrid and was really impressed with its fuel consumption. The explanation was perfect to explain the difference between that and a plug in hybrid.

Very helpful Thank you The number of ads though was stunning!

A great video. Helps to make sense into all of this technical data

Much needed video for a electric car newbie like me! Thank you!

Excellent video and very informative. I own a Hyundai IONIQ Hybrid and love it! I’m very happy with it but I’m thinking about going with PHEV. I mostly use my car in town but I’ve taken longer trips as well. The car gets about 49 mpg on the high way when I’m going 80 miles. In town I get 58 mpg. The reason I wanna go to a PHEV is to get away from wasting gas and using more of the battery.

well explained. good job Dan!!

Excellent job on explaining the difference, Mr. Edmunds!!

Great video! It's clear to me now the diff between the 3 types of cars. Thanks heaps!

Very professional and complete explanation. Thanks, sir!

Thank you very much for your kind information. Love from Bangladesh ❤❤

Very clear yet simple, thank you.

Thanks for the video and insight into electric vehicles, this has provided clarity for me! I prefer the Hybrid, as long as they're available (I feel a move to fully electric vehicles for the future of the motor industry), as I wouldn't want the hassle to plug the car in on numerous occasions to charge but if I could also save a bit of fuel by using a bit of battery juice from breaking to start me off then that would be ideal!

thank you 4 clearing things out. now that i understand more about these technologies

Very helpful and simple to understand! Thanks

Thank you for the update.

ATTENTION: If you buy a plug-in hybrid you have to remember to use the engine part of it. If you find yourself using the battery and only the battery your engine could just stop working. It needs to cycle the oil. Also gasoline does expire. I saw a video of a mechanic who said the owners only drove it to work which was within battery range only for the engine to simply stop working because it was never used.

The combination of being retired, and the pandemic, and my Kia Niro PHEV was hardly used. When it was used, it was always for less than the EV range available with a full battery. I forced the hybrid mode at the half way point of most of my trips so that the engine would run. And I keep "Sta-Bil" in the tank when I do a rare fill-up.

Sorry it took so long to find this video. Exceptional information explained at the level I would use, with support, in my grade 7 science classroom, to explain these differences. Fantastic!

Thank you so much!! It's hard to find information about this

Finally a good explanation between hybrids and plug in hybrids. Can you go more into detail how hybrids use their energy to he more efficient?

Informative, clear, engaging video, really useful. Thank you.

I went to school for business but your video made me remember why I love engineering so much more. 😮

Wow. The best simple explanation that I understand. Thank you for all your info. 😃😃

Brilliant, informative video. Contemplating getting an electric based car and needed help in things being explained, which this did brilliantly. Thank you

Wow. Thank you very much Edmund . Very informative and very useful informatiion. Sincerley appreciate it.

Great video. This has been a huge help!

Wow thank you for your explanation. It's easy to understand the differences in practical ways!

This was so helpful! The single most informative video I’ve seen on this topic! Thanks!!!

Best explanation! Keep up the good work sir!

Thank You for that video it was educational. For a person like me who lives in Connecticut, is seriously deciding to live (at least for 3 years) in a SUV or Van to save $$$ because the price of housing is just getting too too expensive. Your video has helped me make the decision to buy a hybrid vehicle (not a plug-in hybrid) instead of a vehicle that has a all gasoline engine. Keep making these videos.

Thank you very much for the explanation! Very informative!

Amazingly explained, thank you!

Thank you so much for this video! I am so happy about my plug-in hybrid purchase even more now. This was very educational and I learned a lot!

Literally answered every question I had about electric vehicles. Thanks!

I couldn't have said it better myself. Excellent job mate

Very well broken down. I thank you 🙏🏽👍🏽

hi, really good info. thanks for sharing.

Fantastic explanation of the three different types of electric assisted vehicles. Thank you.

Excellent information and way of explaining Thanks

I'm glad you addressed charging challenges as it relates to apartment dwellers. Nobody in You Tube that I watched ever talks about this. They assume everyone can install level 2 charging in their home or even plug in an EV or PHEV to a wall outlet. Not everyone lives at home. If I've to plug an EV/PHEV in my apartment, I'd have to use a very long extension cord and plug it in to an outdoor light bulb socket. 🤣😂

I have an EV I love it. It’s a Nissan leaf plus it’s 250 miles range. And now I want to add a plug in Highbred so I can go to my favorite places on the Ocean, without charging because that takes a while.

How long does it take to charge your Nissan Leaf ?

Just a quick question. In PHEV, does the combustion engine charge the battery pack, or the battery pack only charges via decelerating, breaking and pluging in the outlet? Thanks in advance.

Hi Dan, I was looking to understand the differences of EV, Hybrids and Plug in Hybrids and came across your video and must say you have done a great job with the simple explanation of the 3. I recently bought a new RAV4 Prime a plug in hybrid. It does give 44 miles at full charge overnight at home in a 110 electric socket plug in. I am trying to understand the best modes to use when driving locally and around local towns, but am struggling with the option buttons that are available in this RAV4. For e.g. when i am depleted with the EV after 44 miles usage, there is an option to charge the battery while driving but not sure if this is good only when driving long distance or when driving short distances i.e. within the 50 mile radius. Also when gong on long distance drives is it best to switch off this low EV option and save that only when stop and go condition exists. There are so many such questions i have to ensure i am using the car to its best optimum use mainly to preserve the longitivity of the EV battery and the Hybrid battery. That brings me to the other important aspect i need to understand in this RAV4, is the EV battery and Hybrid battery. Is this the same?? Please if you could put a video explaining this for RAV4 Prime Specifically. Thanks,

Wooow, I was totally lost on what I should go for when buying a new electric/hybrid car. This video really helped me determine which would be best for me (thinking a PHEV). Not taking a BEV from Pennsylvania to Ontario any time soon haha. Thanks for the amazing explanations!

Informative video 👍 just subscribed

So very helpful as we decide on how electric to go with our next car. Thanks!

Thanks for the great explanation!

Wow!!! Thank you for this video. I had no idea about all of the different options. Do you have a video on midsized SUV’s? (The ones with plug in options:)

Thanks interactive explanation great

Nice work!

Thank you sir! Its really an amazing video which explains it perfectly!

Thanks, very good explanation of the various forms of technology

Love your knowledge delivery.
