The following table compares official ratings for fuel economy (miles per gallon gasoline equivalent in the case of plug-in electric vehicles) for series production all-electric passenger vehicles rated by the EPA as of 2016 , versus EPA rated most fuel efficient plug-in hybrid with long distance range (Chevrolet Volt second generation), gasoline-electric hybrid car (Toyota Prius Eco - fourth generation), and EPA's average new 2016 vehicle, which has a fuel economy of 25 mpgus .
The Chevrolet Volt is a plug-in hybrid car manufactured by General Motors, also marketed in rebadged variants as the Holden Volt in Australia and New Zealand, and with a different fascia as the Vauxhall Ampera in the United Kingdom and as the Opel Ampera in the remainder of Europe.
Several plug-in electric vehicle fire incidents have taken place since the introduction of mass-production plug-in electric vehicles in 2010.
 Most of them have been thermal runaway incidents related to the lithium-ion batteries and have involved the Zotye M300 EV, Chevrolet Volt, Fisker Karma, Dodge Ram 1500 Plug-in Hybrid, Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid, Mitsubishi i-MiEV and Outlander P-HEV.
 Most hybrid electric vehicles available in the market today use nickel-metal hydride batteries which do not pose the same risk of thermal runaway as lithium-ion batteries.
Tony Posawatz (born 1960) is an American automotive engineer, best known for his work on the Chevrolet Volt, and in 2012 becoming chief executive of Fisker Automotive.
 He is a State of Michigan licensed Professional Engineer (P.E.).
The Honda Clarity is a nameplate used by Honda on alternative fuel vehicles. Initially only on hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle such as the 2008 Honda FCX Clarity, but later in 2017 expanded to include the battery-electric Honda Clarity Electric and the plug-in hybrid electric Honda Clarity Plug-in Hybrid, in additional to the next generation Honda Clarity Fuel Cell.
The adoption of plug-in electric vehicles in the United States is actively supported by the American federal government, and several state and local governments. s of 2016 , cumulative sales in the U.S. totaled 570,187 highway legal plug-in electric vehicles since the market launch of the Tesla Roadster in 2008, representing 28.1% of the global light-duty plug-in stock.
 s of 2016 , the U.S. has the world's third largest stock of plug-in passenger cars after China and Europe.
 The U.S. market share of plug-in electric passenger cars increased from 0.14% in 2011 to 0.62% in 2013.

The Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid, also known as Prius PHV and Prius Prime, is a mid-size plug-in hybrid manufactured by Toyota.
CalCars (also known as The California Cars Initiative) was a charitable, non-profit organization founded in 2002 to promote plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) as a key to addressing oil dependence and global warming both nationally and internationally.
 It was active until 2010, when the first mass-produced PHEVs arrived.
 CalCars envisioned millions of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, charged by off-peak electricity from renewable energy sources, and with their internal combustion engines powered by low-carbon alternative fuels, as a way to significantly reduce greenhouse gases that come from transportation.
In the late 1960s, General Motors Company directed its GM R&D and Pontiac divisions to develop concept mini-cars for urban drivers.
 Pontiac developed the Pontiac X-4 with a radical two stroke aircraft type radial engine, and GM developed the XP-883 an experimental plug-in hybrid car demonstrated by General Motors in 1969.
 Primarily intended as a commuter vehicle, the very small car had a fiberglass body with a design resembling the future Chevrolet Vega or Ford Pinto.
 The two-door hatchback had seating for two adults and two children, though the children sat in rear-facing seats and would enter and exit through the tailgate.
 It was powered by the combination of a two-cylinder engine and a DC electric motor.
 Electricity was stored in six 12-volt batteries placed between the rear wheels.
The BYD F3DM was a plug-in hybrid compact sedan manufactured by BYD Auto with an all-electric range of 37 mi and a hybrid electric powertrain that can extend the range an additional 300 mi .
 The F3DM is the world's first mass-produced plug-in hybrid automobile and went on sale to government agencies and corporations in China on December 15, 2008.
 During its first year in the market the F3DM plug-in sold only 48 vehicles.
