It's the transitioning away from gas as a fuel source which should really be a major priority for everyone.

The PHEV designation may also be found with a number denoting their electric-only range, such as PHEV-10 ''(for 10 miles of electric range)'' or PHEV-300 ''(In the case of the 300 mile [[Tzero]] EV with its gas fueled range trailer)''.
