Plug-in hybrids are gaining popularity as they become more similar to fully electric cars. Some models can even travel over a hundred kilometers on electricity alone. Škoda is working to attract buyers to this hybrid option, bridging the gap between traditional combustion engine vehicles and electric cars.
For the Finnish market, plug-in hybrids are seen as half-distance trucks on wheels, combining electric power with traditional fuel to offer vehicles that can travel long distances on electricity. This has been 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. As technology continues to advance, these hybrid vehicles are likely to become even more popular on the market.
