[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are plug-in charging stations at my work garage. How much does it cost to charge a plug-in for 8 or 9 hours? [/quote] Why? If it's a PHEV, it has a gas tank, no? Use that to go home and charge in your garage![/quote] The optimization of a PHEV is to get as many miles as practicable on the battery alone. It’s likely that she used the 30 or 40 mile all-electric range on the drive TO work. So while she COULD go home on gas/hybrid and recharge there, to maximize efficient, she would recharge the battery plugged in at work. Arguably, the pure BEVs with 300-mile ranges would be better candidates to NOT charge at work, as they probably don’t have 300-mile round trip commutes. The net optimization lies in the PHEVs plugging in more frequently. —engineer who only drives regular hybrids rn, no 🐕 in this fight[/quote]
