As companies work toward widespread acceptance of EVs, the one result they have to work toward is developing electric vehicles that meet the needs of their traditional ICE vehicle buyers. From compact cars to luxury sedans and rugged trucks, automakers have to craft EVs to fit lifestyles ranging from urban commuting to long-distance hauling.

In today’s economic climate, fuel costs are a constant concern, especially those who rely on SUVs for their daily commutes, family needs, and recreational activities. With fluctuating gas prices, long road trips and off-road adventures can come with a hefty price at the pump. That’s where self-charging hybrid vehicles

When it comes to efficiency, PHEVs are the final stepping stone between ICE vehicles and EVs, and none are as sure-footed on that step as these.

SUVs have taken over as the choice family-vehicle, and hybrids such as this compact have addressed one of the biggest SUV concerns—highway-efficiency.

The electric vehicle market is charging ahead as it heads into the year that was supposed to be the circled pivotal point as the automotive landscape changer. Rapid advancements in technology, growing consumer demand, and a worldwide push for sustainability have led to this watershed moment.

There is perhaps no more ubiquitous engine than that with a 4-liter displacement, with power outputs all over the map. These are the most powerful.

EVs are renowned for their efficiency, with most achieving the equivalent of 115 mpg or better and saving drivers $1,000s a year in fuel costs.

There aren’t many hybrid sedans in today’s market, which wasn’t the case three years ago, when this Korean hybrid sedan was one of the best available.
