Somehow the volt achieved these metrics years ago but most manufacturers haven’t quite achieved this. Granted the Volt lost money for GM so there’s that...

The only plugin hybrid I've used was the 530e or whatever, and it was just awful--no real EV range to speak of and it took forever to charge. I imagine that other PHEVs are better than that, but based on that car I'd be very careful.
End of the day, unless you routinely take long trips (like Josh) where you either don't stop or don't have access to a supercharger, a BEV is a better bet.
