Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles
Plug-in Hybrid Car Subscriptions
The best of both worlds — electric-only range for short trips, with a combustion engine for longer journeys.
Plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) add a larger battery that can be charged from the mains, allowing a genuine electric-only range for shorter journeys while retaining a petrol or diesel engine for longer trips — ideal if you're not yet ready to go fully electric.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to plug a PHEV in?
You don't have to, but you should — a PHEV only delivers its fuel-saving benefit and electric-only range if you charge it regularly. If you can't charge at home or work, a regular hybrid may suit you better.
What's the electric-only range of a typical PHEV?
This varies by model, typically 20-40 miles on electric power alone before the petrol or diesel engine takes over — enough for many short journeys and commutes.
Can I get a PHEV through salary sacrifice?
Yes — plug-in hybrids are available through our salary sacrifice scheme alongside fully electric vehicles, though EVs typically offer the greatest tax saving.
Is a PHEV a good stepping stone to full electric?
Many drivers use a PHEV subscription as a low-risk way to get used to plugging in and electric-only driving before committing to a fully electric vehicle.
What's included in the price?
