Plug-in hybrid vehicles represent a compromise between traditional combustion engines and electric vehicles, providing better range and electric mode performance, yet buyers prioritize satisfaction with full EV experiences.
A new J.D. Power study indicates PHEV owners report lower satisfaction compared to owners of battery-electric vehicles, prompting a reconsideration of PHEVs' role in the transition to electric mobility.
According to Brent Gruber from J.D. Power, the lack of favorable comparison between plug-in hybrids and full electric vehicles significantly reduces the appeal of PHEVs for consumers.
The main obstacle to PHEV acceptance is their average electric range of just 25 miles, which diminishes their attractiveness compared to fully electric vehicles in terms of practicality.
