Is a PHEV better than a regular hybrid for NJ commuters?

For NJ commuters with average daily drives under 40 miles and access to home charging, a PHEV can dramatically reduce gas usage and fuel costs. Many NJ commutes fall well within a PHEV's electric range, meaning you could run almost entirely on electricity for daily driving while still having a gas engine for longer trips. If you cannot charge at home, a regular hybrid is more practical since its battery stays charged automatically without plugging in.
