A Chevy Volt, for instance, drives something over 300 miles on a tank of gas.

About thirty miles of a trip can be accomplished on battery power without the engine running.

A typical result is PHEV owners may drive 900 miles between visits to the gas station: that’s 300 miles on gas and 600 miles on electrical power from the wall.

A dollar’s worth of electrical power drives you about the same distance as three dollars of gas.
