"A plug-in hybrid is the gateway drug for EVs," says Amelia Dalgaard, an automotive expert known online as the Motorhead Mama. That's because plug-in hybrids address the range anxiety that stops some car buyers from going full-EV at first. Plug-in hybrids let you drive on battery power for a limited distance, with a
