This dual-power design offers drivers the flexibility of electric driving with the convenience of a fuel-powered backup. Our Bosch-certified technicians ensure your PHEV runs smoothly and efficiently.

How PHEVs Work

PHEVs feature an electric motor and battery for short-distance, emission-free driving, complemented by an internal combustion engine for longer trips or when the battery is depleted. Models like the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and Volvo XC60 Recharge are popular in Australia for their versatility and eco-friendly benefits.
