Stop that eye-rolling and tutting at the back, those who regard PHEVs as a sad halfway house on the way to battery electric. And, when you consider the inevitable boost in performance an electric motor or two brings when allied with a combustion engine, any long-held PHEV iciness you have may thaw a touch. There are reasons here.
