  • Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle. Sometimes called “Extended Range Electric Vehicles”. TLDR: has a smallish battery you can plug in and charge that gives you something like 30 to 50 miles of range. Then a gas engine to use when the battery is low.

    It’s a good option for anyone who has limited daily driving and the ability to charge overnight. Sadly they’re pretty rare. People will complain about “paying for 2 drivetrains” but cost-wise and feature-wise they make a lot of sense for people with occasional needs to drive longer distances.

    If you search on cars.com it’s a filter option under “fuel type”. For my zip code there’s currently 3.9K hybrid, 2.4K electric and only 19(!) plug-in hybrid listed.

    For me: boxes stay around for 2-3 weeks. Then my kids get art supplies and are set loose upon it. Depending on the success of said art, it can stay around for months (a large furniture box turned into “Kitty Cat Castle” which still stands in my daughter’s room over a year now) or set out with the next recycling.
