As technology advances, plug-in hybrids are becoming more and more similar to fully electric cars. Some models can even travel over a hundred kilometers on electricity alone. To attract buyers to this hybrid option, Škoda is bridging the gap between traditional combustion engine vehicles and electric cars.
In the Finnish market, 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.
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. With advancements in technology, these hybrid vehicles are likely to become even more popular on the market.
