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.

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.

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!

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. 🤣😂
