Escape, Edge, TC to be KilledYour Government's regulations are only 1 part of the equation, as consumers (voters) will also have a say in how this eventually plays out.
This is the 2nd posting I have seen stating that the vast majority of PHEV users don't plug in, again without providing any personal experiences, or substantive facts. In my experience with 5 neighbourhood PHEV's, they are all plugged in while at home. When out walking I also see other PHEV's in driveways that are also plugged in. Might be a small sample size, but these are actual facts. In addition, I question why somebody would pay a significant premium for a PHEV and not plug it in, when power is readily available. Doesn't make sense, especially since fuel is about double the cost of our cheap hydro power.
Yes, when we go on road trips and chargers are in short supply to non-existent, and many condo/hotel/parking garages don't have ready access to 110V outlets, we don't plug in, using it as a hybrid. Over a 2-week trip, we used about 25% of the gas that the 2019 Escape would have used. Note - starting with a full battery and ending with almost 0 charge.
So from personal experience, the PHEV is not useless, as in our experience it is a perfect transition, while BEV technology is woefully inadequate for our overall needs.Tue, 05 Sep 2023 15:39:57 +0000
