PHEVs Work for Me

Nearly two years on, I thought I'd quickly recap what it's been like having a PHEV in the family.

@caseylisscom Typo: ”cumbustion” 🙈
@caseylisscom Might want to define PHEV and BEV when first encountered. I eventually figured them out, but it took a while.
@caseylisscom Similar boat with a 2021 XC90 thinking about an electric future. Check out the current pricing though. The PHEV is only $400 less than the BEV EX90. Seems odd. Volvo's pricing is all out of whack lately. Guessing tariff related.
@caseylisscom we bought a PHEV RAV4 exactly three years ago. It has a 40-50 mile electric range (winter is less) but almost all of my wife’s driving is in that range. We have taken long trips and, as you say, just don’t think about it. We’ve averaged over 200 mpg since buying it. Super-happy with this car.
@caseylisscom on your PHEV is there not a button to only use the Combustion Engine? If you restrict on the freeway, That means you can use the battery far more effectively on local roads.
