[Political Junkie Too]

I heard a little bit about plug-in hybrids, but I don't know much about them. My Ford Fusion Hybrid only augments the ICE, but it's enough to give me about 40mpg (down to about 38mpg now that the car is 11 years old).

The hybrid engine is good for about 2 miles at 30 mph on a flat road, but that's not what it's for. However, I hear that new plug-in hybrids can give somewhere between 20 and 50 miles before the ICE kicks in. Since I don't commute anymore (and when I did I only drove to the park-and-ride lot six miles from home), I could see getting a plug-in hybrid for local errands.

What do you know about plug-in hybrids?

I didn’t look at plug-in hybrids much because I wanted more miles per charge like a BEV to go with my solar.
