In 2023, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are often regarded as a backward technology. They have a limited electric range compared to most of today’s battery-electric vehicles (BEVs). While BEVs can travel longer distances solely on electric power, PHEVs rely heavily on their internal combustion engines for longer journeys, and sometimes even for shorter ones.
