As far as I'm aware, PHEVs haven't gone for than around 20 miles on their batteries until the last year or two, but I don't follow all brands on this issue. Now they're going 40-50 miles on the battery, which is a game changer IMO. They're typically rated in the 80-120 MPGe range, but I'd like to see the actual cost per mile or miles per dollar. Obviously, the cost to charge a battery varies a lot, with solar being typically free and an EV rate plan with a utility being second best (which is what I have).

If your daily driving falls under 40-50 miles (or even if it's not that much more), a PHEV is a great solution. I suspect it blows away 40-50 mpg on a regular hybrid.
