You can charge the plugin hybrid and do your daily drive (~50km) on just electricity. Hybrid cars are just a way to save some fuel with regenerative braking and charging on a downhill.
PHEV is great if you have a monthly/weekly trips that are longer than 100km where you use petrol or if you want the option to drive 500km road trip without an hour long charging break. This is very good for people that have a charger at work but live in an apartment that they can’t charge the car.
HEV is going to be cheaper than the PHEV since you have a lot smaller battery and electric power system. The electric system is only there to take a load off the ICE engine and can potentially make it last longer by not having it run at a lower intensity.
As soon as you can charge the car at home EV is the best, people should take a break from driving every 2-3 hours anyway for safety on road trips. Downside is that you need a charging station to drive of course. EVs can potentially be the cheapest of the bunch since you only need one system to propel the car forward and battery prices are falling.
