Plug-in hybrids are increasingly resembling fully electric cars, with some models capable of traveling over 100 kilometers on electricity alone. To appeal to buyers, Škoda is working to bridge the gap between traditional combustion engine vehicles and electric cars.
For the Finnish market, these plug-in hybrids are like half-distance trucks on wheels – combining electric power with traditional fuel to offer vehicles that can travel long distances on electricity. This has been seen as a smart option in a country as vast as Finland, according to Maija Koskela, the CEO of Helkama-Auto, the importer of Škoda vehicles.
As technology continues to advance, these hybrid vehicles are likely to become even more popular on the market. The versatility and efficiency of plug-in hybrids make them an appealing option for consumers looking to reduce their carbon footprint without sacrificing the convenience of long-distance travel.
