🧏♂️Charging:
Can be charged by plugging into an outlet.

Best fuel economy, but more expensive and requires charging infrastructure.

Efficiency & Environment: Hybrids provide better fuel economy, especially in city driving, and produce fewer emissions.
📌Maintenance:
Hybrids are designed for high fuel efficiency, however, plug-in hybrids have more components requiring maintenance over time.
