The argument between full battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plugin-hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) is one where we stand quite firmly on the side of the BEV as charging infrastructure develops. PHEVs have significant looming environmental and economic problems as consumers broadly treat them like they would a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), relying heavily on the petrol tank which is usually touted as a “backup” for longer journeys. Categorizing BEVs and HEVs is rather simple, the former can only be charged using electricity through a plug as it doesn’t have an internal combustion engine, while the latter only takes petrol which improves fuel efficiency significantly but doesn’t curb a region’s reliance on oil. PHEVs are the middle ground between these two…
