Bigger battery -- we get about 30 miles full electric, then it switches over to normal hybrid (49 mpg).

Since nearly all of our day trips are under 30 miles, it's a great solution. All electric for about 90% of the miles we drive!

Total range with gas and electric is about 540 miles.

Kia Niro PHEV.
