I've been driving a Toyota Corolla Hybrid for several years now. This car doesn't require any external charging at all. During daily driving, the engine automatically charges the battery as soon as it starts, especially when decelerating, where regenerative braking recovers energy and directly supplies it to the battery. This design is quite hassle-free and saves a lot on fuel costs; I only need to refuel about two or three times a month, and each fill-up lasts a long distance. Some friends mistakenly think it requires finding charging stations like electric vehicles, but that's incorrect—it's a conventional hybrid system with a small battery that only supports short-distance pure electric mode. Maintenance is also straightforward, just regular servicing. I usually check the battery health every six months and have never encountered any issues. Overall, it drives smoothly and is environmentally friendly. If you choose it, you won't have to worry about the hassle of charging.
