ONE OF the most interesting things about having a plug-in hybrid is that you spend a lot of time explaining to people what that actually means. That’s fine – I’m absolutely not complaining – but it has got me thinking about what exactly is the point of a PHEV.
I have written before that it takes a degree of discipline to get the most of a plug-in hybrid and the fact that it has a combustion engine is the enemy of discipline.
