Are There Subsidies for Plug-in Hybrids?

[ElleRose]

Plug-in hybrid models are only eligible for subsidies if their electric range exceeds 50 kilometers. Below is an introduction to the characteristics of plug-in hybrid vehicles: 1. As a second-generation derivative of hybrid vehicles, which are a combination of traditional fuel-powered cars and pure electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) can ensure extended driving range. In addition to battery power, they utilize fuel as an 'auxiliary feature' to support long-distance travel for consumers. Beyond the advantage of extended range, PHEVs offer a driving feel based on traditional fuel-powered cars, making them an ideal choice for consumers who appreciate the driving experience of fuel-powered cars but also enjoy the low-noise operation of electric vehicles. 2. The body structure of plug-in hybrid vehicles is relatively complex. Combining features of both pure electric and fuel-powered cars, their configuration is more intricate, resulting in higher manufacturing costs compared to both pure electric and fuel-powered vehicles. This is one of the reasons why plug-in hybrid vehicles face challenges in achieving mass-market sales.
