Many people are afraid of
Many people are afraid of battery electric vehicles because it is a big unknown. Hopefully her experience of owning a plug in hybrid will encourage her to get a BEV in the future. The good reliability of the PHEVs that I owned made me want to move to BEVs in the future. I also had a CR-V for years, and along with many other great Hondas that I've owned, it was a great, economical and reliable vehicle. It is a shame that Honda is not committing to BEVs. They do not even have a plug-in vehicle other than the low volume, special order Clarity PHEV. With 95% of new vehicle sales still going to gas-only vehicles, it is no surprise to see people unsure of an electric car today. I think that it's great that Toyota offers their RAV4 Hybrid and RAV4 Prime models to give people the option of a worthy transition vehicle, moving from solely gas, and experiencing the benefits of an electric motor.
