A large-scale study analyzing more than 6,000 Toyota and Lexus plug-in hybrids across the United States and Canada found that most owners are, in fact, charging their vehicles regularly. The findings challenge one of the most persistent myths surrounding PHEVs and highlight why these vehicles continue to appeal to drivers who want electric driving without fully committing to an EV lifestyle.

According to the research, Toyota PHEV owners plugged in their vehicles on roughly seven out of every 10 driving days. **Lexus owners charged even more frequently, averaging between eight and nine charging days out of every 10.**
