The Mazda MX-30 R-EV could solve that tough decision for those looking for something more economical. Moving from a petrol or diesel engine to a fully electric car is a big one and can be scary, especially when you hear stories of poor charging infrastructure. While keeping an electric car charged isn’t as hard as many tabloid papers would have you believe, there is a handy stepping stone in the form of a plug-in hybrid.
Mild hybrids tend to offer very small amounts of electric range and practically only give a slight boost to the petrol engine power. PHEVs, however, offer a more considerable range thanks to larger battery units allowing to realistically run on electric only for all of those shorter journeys.
