BMW has to take some of the credit/blame since it went way beyond introducing an electric vehicle; the Munich-based automaker introduced new electrified models, updates on current ones and essentially illustrated that its commitment to electrify its lineup was happening right now.
Fiat Chrysler Automotive (FCA) stated that the Jeep Renegade plug-in hybrid (PHEV) would arrive in early 2020. In proof of that statement, Jeep unveiled a plug-in version of the Renegade on Tuesday at the Geneva Motor Show plus a surprise; a Jeep Compass PHEV.
Ford estimates the 26-mile all-electric range on the 2019 Ford Fusion Energi Titanium will handle the local driving needs for most people.
BMW continues its move forward to electrify its line-up with the official launch of the 2020 7-Series premium sedan that includes an all-new plug-in hybrid (PHEV) drivetrain.
The 2019 Ford Fusion Energi is going out with a bang.

The award-winning Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV was the first plug-in hybrid SUV to market and is one of the lowest cost ones available, though it has yet to make it to America.
Practice safety and precaution when charging up, at home or in public charging stations. Even though electric cars are safer than liquid fuel vehicles, you should still be careful and respect other car owners.
Summing up, this was a great first year for me at these National Drive Electric Week 2017 events.
If you want an attractive, comfortable midsize sedan with a little greener perspective, try one of Ford’s two greener Fusions–2017 Ford Fusion Hybrid and Energi.
I believe that pure electric vehicles are wonderful, but if you live a life that combines moderate commuting with longer trips, the 2017 Toyota Prius Prime may be the ticket.
