Quote from darkhunter00 :
Sorry if dumb question but if someone was more rural with limited charging options, could you buy and just drive this as a normal gas car? Would you still get some benefit from the battery if you never plugged it in?

I am just confused on what I read when I googled. It says the battery can charge from braking and the engine so it will just "naturally" charge while doing normal driving ?

Is this still a good deal if used this way ?
Niche use case: If you live in hill country, keep in mind hybrids can brake regen on the way down. However, regular hybrids have very small batteries, so on higher slopes, you go from zero to full partway down and then "waste" the rest of your braking. The bigger battery of a PHEV can recharge the whole drop and use that to climb a good part of the next hill, saving far more gas than regular hybrid. It should offset the extra weight from hauling bigger batteries since without electricity, the gas engine would be revving high to get enough torque for climbing.

Related note, if you live in top of a hill, you probably don't want to overnight charge as much, if at all, since your outbound leg will charge the battery some or full. That can effectively negate one of the big draws of PHEV depending on your commute.

Can you force it into hybrid mode or will it always run EV until the battery is drained first?
The engine will kick on if you step on the gas or at times to charge the battery. The Dodge Hornet PHEV when idling would occasionally make this really nasty sound from the engine when it kicked on to presumably charge the engine.

Thanks! Well I get that, that if I never charged it, sort of defeats the purpose, might as well buy a normal car. It just seemed like in this one instance with all the credits, that dealer is showing a price of just 27K then I guess 29K out the door as OP said after taxes and such.

I checked and the lowest MSRP on a normal gas only Escape is $29,495
Now maybe there are incentives that bring that down but it just seems like the hybrid is far cheaper than the regular one with the tax credit.

So if someone wanted an escape, why buy the regular if the hybrid is the same even if you never charge it ? Or maybe I am missing something.
For one, when the time that you have to change the battery thecbill will be high regardless but if you don't intend to use the electricity charge benefit, this would now be a large extra expense.

Quote from hans007 :
its probably is still more efficient than a straight gas car because it can charge partially via regenerative braking.

probably not as efficient as a non plug in hybrid, because phev have a much larger battery which if not plugged in is just a bunch of weight being dragged around
Both PHEVs I rented this summer got crappy gas mileage cause I wasn't charging them and drove a lot of highway. Shockingly bad in the case of the Dodge Hornet, like 18 mpg. But that car could scoot.

PHEV= heavier than hybrid, so if you never plan to plug it, get normal hybrid. Both are havier and have added complexity vs conventional gas.

So is this before the tax credit? Doesn't show anything on their site about the credit so I'm assuming yes…that means more like 25k after tax credit?
