Shopping for a Kia Sportage and want to know th difference between Hybrid and Plug in Hybrid. There is a $5,000-6,000 difference between these models.
I drive about 6-8,000 miles per year mostly city driving and maybe one 1,000 mile trip per year. This well be my only car and I have the ability to charge it at home.
Theoretically, I could drive a Plug In 80% of the time on battery by charging as needed and use the gas engine sparingly, maybe filling the gas tank once a month?
Or, I could drive a Hybrid on battery because I live in a hilly area and regenerative braking would be frequently used.
Input pease.
