Top 10 Plug-In Hybrids With The Longest Range
Not all plug-in hybrids are built the same. Some offer only a minimal electric driving range, operating as little more than traditional hybrids with a larger battery.
Others, however, are capable of traveling significant distances on electricity alone before needing to rely on their internal combustion engines. To provide a clearer picture, we’ve compiled a list of the top ten plug-in hybrids that offer the longest electric-only driving range on a single charge.
A plug-in hybrid’s electric range is influenced by several factors, including battery size, motor efficiency, vehicle weight, and aerodynamics. A higher price tag doesn’t always guarantee a longer range, as some of the most efficient models come from unexpected price points, while others at the higher end of the market don’t necessarily deliver on range.
For those looking to maximize their all-electric driving experience without committing to a full EV, there are options available with substantial electric range.
