I'm sure companies like Tesla & Toyota will have those kind of stats.
Just from observation in my suburb, the owners on Plug-ins
and Hybrids are all professional middle class people
(doctors , medical specialists, accountants , solicitors
and a few teachers )
Tesla 3 seems to be the most popular plug-in while Toyota
Camry hybrid is certainly the most popular hybrid
The Taxi station next suburb is virtually all Camry Hybrids.
From a mechanical point of view, the Toyota hybrid transmission
is an ingenious system IMO. The planetary ECVT does not have
cones.steel belts and complex hydraulic/control solonoids ;
just simple dual planets , 2 generator motors , a reduction gear
and a normal transaxle . The damper is interesting, IMO, because
ot permits a seamless on/off of the engine ; so much so that
one has to look at the screen to determine when the car is
in full EV mode or when under complementary engine power
Others have variations on this system with internal add-ons;
just more to go wrong, IMO.
