We just crested 1,000 miles in our Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. Per the trip meter, 740 of those miles, or 74%, have been electric. Of the 260 gas hybrid miles, about 60 of those were from the first day and running back and forth from the dealer (dealer didn’t have it charged at all, fairly typical). The bulk of the remaining 200 hybrid miles were from a quick mini road trip.
All in all, I believe over 90% of our daily driving is covered under electric power. This is thanks to the 32 miles of range and having our Clipper Creek level 2 charger at home to “fill up” pretty easily whenever needed in under 2 hours.
Plug-in hybrids rise to the top of our list in overall flexibility and capability. Smooth and quiet electric experience with the hybrid efficient gas capability and quick refill convenience for any long haul duties.
Would you consider a plug-in hybrid?
