Which comparison answers your question
Hybrid vs EV vs gas
Start here if the powertrain itself is still open. Gas, full hybrid, PHEV, and battery EV on fuel, charging, range, and running cost, with a decision shortcut at the end.

Every MPG figure comes from the federal fuel economy program rather than a manufacturer press release, and every price is the base trim before destination and options. That matters because a comparison only holds up if each car is measured the same way. Where a trim level moves a number enough to change the ranking, the page says so instead of quietly picking the flattering spec.
Reliability comes from published owner survey data, not from anecdote. Resale figures are three-year retained value. None of these pages carry ads, affiliate links, or paid placement, so nothing on the list is there because someone paid for the slot.
Still working out the powertrain?
Comparing two specific cars is the last step, not the first. If you are not yet sure whether a hybrid, plug-in hybrid, or full EV fits how you drive, the hybrid and PHEV explainer covers the drivetrain names in plain language, and the hybrid vs gas cost calculator puts your own fuel price and annual mileage into the payback math before you shortlist anything.
