Chrysler Pacifica PHEV

If BMW has you covered when it comes to performance x electrification, then Chrysler is the go-to when it comes time for some family moving x electrification. The Pacifica minivan will carry you and yours for about 50 km on electric power alone, and considering that most minivans are asked to do many small trips throughout the day, your Pacifica PHEV could quickly become a Pacifica EV without too much effort.

Ford Escape PHEV

While 2025 heralds the arrival of the new Explorer PHEV, in 2024 it’s still only the popular Escape compact crossover that gets the treatment. It gets a naturally aspirated 4-cylinder that when coupled an EV motor makes 210 hp. Fine figures, but know that if you’re going with an Escape PHEV, you’re going to have to do without AWD as the model comes only in front-wheel-drive configuration.
