The Escape PHEV crossover is the only vehicle option in Ford’s lineup sold with a charging cable. Unfortunately, the configuration is still front-wheel drive a front-wheel drive only.

That said, we shouldn't be surprised to soon welcome to the world PHEV versions of the Maverick pickup or even the Bronco Sport, two of the Ford Escape's stablemates.

Possible range (in electric mode): 60 km.

Hyundai has stepped up the pace of electrification with the recent arrival of the Ioniq 6 sedan, which joins the all-electric lineup, and we can expect further additions in the coming months.

On the plug-in hybrid side, things are quieter, with the same vehicles being offered as last year, the Tucson PHEV and Santa Fe PHEV.

Possible range (in electric mode): 50 km (Santa Fe PHEV) and 53 km (Tucson PHEV).
