PHEVs Are A Great Solution For Many — But PHEV Incentives Need Fixing

EV Adoption

Like many issues and discussion topics today, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) have become a divisive concept within the electric vehicle industry. People seem to either be fans of the dual-powertrain approach of PHEVs or have a huge disdain for them. The Knocks Against PHEVs. Black and white. Good versus bad.
