Could a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle be right for you?

Many customers would agree that the future of mobility is electric. But not everyone is ready to go for a fully electric vehicle (BEV) just yet, maybe because of lack of charging options in their area or because they prefer the characteristics and benefits of a combustion engine for longer trips.

Plug-in Hybrids give you the best of two worlds and they remove the range anxiety often connected with a BEV because you can always just fill the tank with petrol.

And the combination of the electric motor and the combustion engine gives you higher power and better acceleration, too.

But a Plug-in Hybrid will be more expensive to run, as wear and tear on tyres and brakes, as well as service/maintenance cost are typically much higher for a Plug-in Hybrid than for a BEV (see indexes below).

Typical service/maintenance cost indexes are:
100 for a BEV
142 for an ICE car and
156 for a Plug-in Hybrid
Depending on make/model - this example is based on 80,000 km over three years for a Peugeot 308, indexes correct as of Jan 30th, 2024.

But for many customers the benefit of the Plug-in Hybrid outweighs the higher cost. So, could a Plug-in Hybrid be right for you?
