How many miles of electric range can a customer typically expect from a PHEV?

A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) typically offers a range of electric-only driving that can vary significantly depending on the model and battery size. The range generally falls between 20 and 50 miles, making this option particularly accurate. This electric range allows drivers to complete short commutes or errands entirely on battery power, which can lead to reduced fuel consumption and emissions. The design of PHEVs usually focuses on providing enough electric range for daily use, paired with a gasoline engine that extends the overall range for longer trips.

Models may vary, but many modern PHEVs are engineered to maximize efficiency, making it feasible for some to achieve a range close to or even exceeding 50 miles under optimal conditions. Therefore, a customer can anticipate a practical electric range for typical use within the specified broader range.
