"On paper, plug-in hybrids sound like a great 'middle of the road' alternative to EVs...Although most plug-in models do not have the equivalent electric range of a full battery-powered EV like a Tesla, they are often seen as great for trips around town and left to charge overnight.
"manufacturers are resting a lot of faith on the idea that buyers are being properly educated on how to plug in their cars and that their buyers actually plug in."
