Plug-in hybrid vehicles are perfect for people curious about going electric but who aren’t ready to give up the convenience of gasoline. A plug-in hybrid is a hybrid with a larger battery that you can charge at home. It allows you to drive short distances on electricity, which can significantly reduce gasoline use.
