These are CarBuzz's favorites PHEVs for 2022, but not necessarily based on fuel economy - we're looking for a balance between cost-effectiveness and being an excellent car for different lifestyles. That way, you get an all-electric range but can switch to hybrid gas and electric power for longer trips. If you want to give the middle finger to petroleum companies and their corporate greed, but aren't ready to do battle with public chargers and a spotty charging network, it's time to consider a plug-in hybrid. Even Jeep has gone for it with a hybrid Wrangler, and it's a hit. Not all of Toyota's plug-in hybrids deliver that level of range and. What most automakers are doing, though, is making and selling hybrids. And with a 302-hp output, it accelerates to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds, quicker than any other Toyota except the Supra sports car. That's negligible enough that some automakers aren't even bothering with all-electric cars in any meaningful way yet. Sure, the take-rate on EVs will increase, particularly in some countries rather than others, but in reality, here in the US, they account for 1% of car sales here in 2022. Anyone predicting that we'll all be driving electric vehicles in ten or twenty years is full of crap. Our immediate future with cars isn't the all-electric drivetrain it's hybrid.
