**Summary:** Hybrid with a rechargeable battery enabling 30–80 km of pure-electric driving.

- A PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) has a larger battery rechargeable from a wall outlet, allowing 30–80 km of pure-electric driving before the combustion engine kicks in.
- Useful for electric commuting and highway operation as a hybrid.
- Reimbursement calculation grows complex: fuel saved depends on charging habits.
