What’s it going to take for everyday consumers to shift from gas to electric? Some advocates believe that the tipping point will occur when the cost of a battery-powered car and an emissions-producing gas car are identical. The magic words: price parity.
Others believe that it will only happen when an EV has the same driving range and ease of refueling as an internal-combustion vehicle.
If price parity and eliminating range concerns are the criteria, then we don’t have to wait another day. There are three highly capable, long-range plug-in hybrids available for less than $30,000. After a federal tax credit of about $4,500, the entry price for the three models dips to the mid-$20,000s. Compare that to the average vehicle transaction price these days of about $37,500.
Here’s the trio: the Toyota Prius Prime, Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid, and Hyundai Ioniq Plug-in Hybrid. They respectively provide 25, 26, and 29 miles of all-electric range—with back-up gas engines for quick fill-ups and hundreds of miles of spare range.
