Plug In Hybrids..

Solo episode about plug-in hybrids, what's great about them and all the grips I got with the misconceptions of buying and owning one. The bad, the good, etc. TLDR: they are not EVs, shouldn't be allowed to use rapid chargers and won't be relevant in 5-10 years. Let's hope. PHEV models found to be 61% less efficient in real-world use. And so much more.. Classic Gregg solo episode.
