EV prices don’t appear to be coming down anytime soon. While automakers and the government are still operating under the assumption of widespread adoption, those higher prices are what’s keeping a lot of Americans out of the market. In many cases, the thought of driving all-electric is also intimidating for buyers and a turn-off in many instances. But there are other options, to bridge that gap between ICE and EVs, in the form of plug-in hybrids. Referred to as PHEVs, drivers have the benefit of electrification, with an “oh shit” gas-powered engine when the car runs out of electric juice. There are currently over 30 plug-in hybrid models available for sale in the U.S. market. They cover everything from crossovers to family sedans to supercars. And with such a wide spectrum of pricing and offerings from multiple manufacturers, there’s something for everyone. Here’s a list of every plug-in hybrid model currently for sale in the U.S. 2 / 36
Audi Q5 55 TFSI e Quattro: $55,400Audi Q5 55 TFSI e Quattro: $55,400Audi’s sole crossover plug-in hybrid, the Q5 TFSI e takes the already popular Q5 and pairs its V6 with a 17.9 kW battery to deliver 362 horsepower. EV range: 23 miles 3 / 36 Audi A7 TFSI e Quattro: $75,900Audi A7 TFSI e Quattro: $75,900The only way to get that gorgeous sloped hatch body with hybrid efficiency, the A7 TFSI e is the only plug-in hybrid sedan offered by Audi. Surprisingly, the A7 uses the same powertrain setup as the Q5. They both have the same battery size and identical horsepower numbers. However the A7 gains three miles of EV range over its Q5 cousin. EV range: 26 miles 4 / 36 Bentley Flying Spur Hybrid: $210,600Bentley Flying Spur Hybrid: $210,600Bentley has been downsizing.

EV range: 17 miles 29 / 36 Toyota Prius Prime: $28,670Toyota Prius Prime: $28,670With Toyota as hybrid centric as it is, you’d think there would be more than just two plug-in hybrids in its entire lineup. The first of these is the original plug-in hybrid, the Prius Prime. Once one of the most advanced vehicles Toyota had built, it’s now pretty common. Plug-in efficiency on top of the already fuel-sipping powertrain is beautiful. Even if you don’t use the EV mode, you can still expect to get 54 mpg. EV range: 25 miles 30 / 36 Toyota RAV4 Prime: $40,300Toyota RAV4 Prime: $40,300One of the hottest vehicles on the market, the RAV4 Prime is also one of the most powerful vehicles in Toyota’s lineup.

But it’s powerful having 455 hp and one of the longest EV driving ranges on the market. EV range: 22 miles; 40 with range extender 32 / 36 Volvo XC60 Recharge: $54,250Volvo XC60 Recharge: $54,250The XC60 Recharge has the same powertrain setup as the S60.

EV range: 19 miles; 36 miles with range extender 33 / 36 Volvo V60 Recharge: $67,300Volvo V60 Recharge: $67,300Sadly the V60 is one of the last wagons left in the U.S. market.

EV range: 21 miles, 38 miles with range extender 35 / 36 Volvo XC90 Recharge: $64,800Volvo XC90 Recharge: $64,800While you can’t get (or buy) a regular V90 wagon as a plug-in, you can get the seven-seat XC90 as a plug-in.
