Do plug-in hybrid vehicle owners regularly plug in, charging their batteries and enabling electric-only driving for much of their daily travel?
New reports from Jeep and Kia show owners of those vehicle brands plug in almost daily to maximize driving in emissions-free electric mode, which is good news for the technology.
Other automakers, however, declined to share charging information for these reports, raising questions about their contribution to reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
