This post, a reflection on the 2020 24 Hours of Reality: Countdown to the Future from the Climate Reality Project, talks about electric cars, the climate crisis and actions we all can take to help solve it, including driving electric vehicles (EVs).
Are Jaguar cars getting greener? The answer is yes. However, we are still a long way away from reintroducing economic E-Type or Mark 2 models as a green alternative to the EV competition.
The 2020 Hyundai Ioniq PHEV gets more than 50 mpg, can go at least 29 miles on pure electricity (which will easily satisfy most daily tasks), has a roomy interior, modern design and the best warranty in the business.
As a PHEV, the 2020 Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid offers significantly more electric range than the hybrid, but is still lugging around a gas tank, engine, radiator, etc., which you’ll need when you want to drive more than 26 miles without charging up.
If you like BMWs and want a crossover, the 2020 BMW X3 xDrive30e is a good option.
I’ll plan to serve up a few plug-in hybrid (PHEV) stories myself once I let my test fleets know my change of heart.
Not satisfied with the RAV4 being the best-selling crossover SUV in America, Toyota is introducing the all-new 2021 RAV4 Prime, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), to join the RAV4 and RAV4 Hybrid.
Most gasoline-electric hybrid vehicle drivers will at some point ask these questions: How long do hybrid batteries last? Are they expensive to replace?
Over the next few months to major players promise to turn this market segment into a serious competition as two powerhouses charge into the market—the 2020 Ford Escape Plug-in Hybrid and the 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime.
Two recent electric vehicle sales reports tell a similar tale—the Tesla Model 3 is dominating the market worldwide and in its home market of California, and other models and manufacturers have a lot of catching up to make it a competitive situation.
