The Rise of Hybrid Electric Vehicles
Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) are gaining popularity as consumers seek alternatives to traditional gas-powered vehicles. In China, nearly 60% of global electric car sales occur, with plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) achieving a remarkable 51% market share. The convenience of having both electric and fuel capabilities allows consumers to enjoy the benefits of electric driving while alleviating range anxiety. The ongoing shift towards PHEVs in the U.S. is also notable, with hybrid sales increasing by 46% and plug-in hybrids by 70% in early 2024, demonstrating a trend toward versatility and practicality.
