PlugShare takes the guesswork—and anxiety—out of EV charging, one orange or green dot at a time. Electric vehicle adoption in America has included plenty of ups and downs, especially when it comes to charging your big battery on wheels. Juicing up at home is easy, but venturing to another part of town or taking a road trip can quickly make you feel like you’re in The Hunger Games. You end up wondering, Where will I charge?

45 miles of electric rangeCheapest PHEV in AmericaFun to driveSlow onboard chargerDude, where’s my auto headlights? EV mode performance tapers off at higher speedsThe least expensive 2024 Toyota Prius Prime, the plug-in hybrid version of the Prius hybrid, is the SE. Equivalent to the Prius hybrid’s LE trim, the SE is the Prime in its most basic form, and there’s a lot of good that comes from that.

The plug-in-hybrid compact SUV shines on slick roads thanks to rear power bias and brake-based torque vectoring. Mitsubishi is quick to brag its Outlander PHEV has the most EV cred in the growing plug-in-hybrid compact crossover segment that includes the Toyota RAV4 Prime.
