If an electric car stirs your interest but the lifestyle changes sound daunting, consider a plug-in hybrid. A plug-in hybrid is simply a rechargeable hybrid, with a larger battery than a standard hybrid that enables a short range of fully electric driving. A regular hybrid recharges by capturing energy during braking, and usually only engages battery power at low speeds or cruising. A plug-in hybrid recharges from an electrical outlet, often from a 240-volt (or “Level 2”) connection found in garages or public chargers, and can typically travel between 30 and 50 miles on electricity before a gas engine takes over.
