    Plug in hybrid usually refers to a car that has some amount of purely electric range, charges like an EV, but after depleting its battery falls back into conventional hybrid mode where the battery is maintained to some level of reserve power using a gas engine. The Chevy Volt is probably the best example. I drive a Volt and all my daily commute is purely electric unless it’s super cold outside.

      Thanks for the insight. I guess thats the P from PHEV, there’s just so many acronyms now I’m losing track.
