The PHEV MINI Countryman offers a 65 MPGe combined US EPA fuel/energy efficiency rating, and a gas/petrol-only fuel-efficiency rating of 27 MPG. Next up we have the 2018 Mini Cooper SE Countryman All4, a brand new offering that some people may not yet be aware of. Read our review of the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. So if you want one new, then you’ll need to be financially comfortable, to say the least. So, what’s the downside? Starting prices begin at $39,995. The gas/petrol-only fuel economy rating granted by the EPA was 32 MPG - again, rather good for a minivan. Speaking of which, the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid has been granted a US EPA combined energy/fuel efficiency rating of 84 MPGe - better than some PHEV compacts. The model’s 16 kilowatt-hour (kWh) lithium-ion battery pack allows the model to achieve a 33-mile all-electric range (53 km) and a total range (battery + gas tank) of 570 miles - which is pretty good for such a fuel/energy efficient minivan. It is essentially the only plug-in electric minivan out there, and it has some impressive specs. The Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid is only just now becoming widely available, but the model has a lot going for it.
The Chevy Volt’s battery is so large that it’s the only PHEV that can qualify for the entire $7,500 federal EV tax credit. Pricing for the Chevy Volt PHEV begins at $38,445 (that’s with fees and without tax rebates). The Chevy Volt PHEV currently features a 106 MPGe combined US EPA energy/fuel efficiency rating and a 42-mile US EPA fuel-efficiency rating for operation when the battery pack is fully depleted. While the field has diversified significantly over the last 1–2 years, the Chevy Volt remains a solid choice for those wanting a car that they can use in all-electric mode for daily needs but also use easily for long road trips - thanks to the generous 53-mile all-electric range and the efficient gas/petrol engine. The Chevy Volt PHEV was for a while the plug-in hybrid of the US market, representing a substantial portion of total US electric vehicle sales for quite a number of years.

Notably, the model’s battery pack isn’t large enough to allow for full use ($7,500) of the US federal tax credit for plug-in electric vehicles - but it is large enough to allow for around $4,000 or so in savings. The starting price for the model is currently somewhere around $27,100. The total combined range is estimated by the EPA to be 640 miles - which means that the model has few competitors out in the car segment that can compete on pure range. We’ll start this list off with the Toyota Prius Prime - a plug-in hybrid offering 25 miles of all-electric range a US EPA combined energy/fuel efficiency rating of 133 miles-per-gallon-equivalent (MPGe) and a 54 miles-per-gallon (MPG) US EPA fuel-efficiency rating when relying only on the gas/petrol system.
Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles Available For Purchase In The USA Toyota Prius Prime While most of the offerings out there now will be discussed, some of the less compelling offerings (such as the current plug-in hybrid offerings of Mercedes-Benz) will just be glanced over. With that in mind, I’m going to provide an overview here of the most compelling plug-in hybrid electric vehicles now available for purchase in the USA. Well, that’s the way that things have seemed for the last few years anyway. Every year that goes by, the quality of the all-electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrids (PHEV) on the US market improves, seemingly by leaps and bounds.
