The advantages of plug-in hybrid vehicles.
Long Range.
Plug-in hybrid vehicles adapt to your everyday life. If the fully electric range is insufficient for your journey, then the combustion engine automatically kicks in. This makes plug-in hybrids more flexible on longer journeys and independent of the regional charging infrastructure.
Designated parking.
Drivers of plug-in hybrids often receive preferential parking for increased convenience while charging, increasing convenience and reducing time spent finding a spot.
Convenient home charging.
Simply and easily charge a plug-in hybrid vehicle at home, just like an all-electric car. This allows you to save time and reduce the need to visit gas stations.
Lower emissions.
Plug-in hybrids cover distances of up to 40 miles purely in electric drive, resulting in zero emissions.
